Stand By Me - Ben E King - Acoustic Cover

Hope you enjoy my acoustic cover of 'Stand By Me' originally by the one and only Ben E. King. I have loved this song for years and it's definitely one of my favourites! I cannot believe it was number one in the 1960's, I also found out it was covered by John Lennon which I didn't know! I try my best to cover modern songs but I'm a sucker for the old classics! I decided to do the video in black and white keeping with the 1960's vibe!

Lyrics for Stand by Me:

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me

When the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains will crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me

So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand,
Stand by me, stand by me,
