1. "Stand By Me'' Ben E. King By: Marvelin Santana

2. 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
Oh, 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
Stand by me

3. If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
All the mountains should 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

4. And darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
So darling, darling
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me, oh won't you stand now, stand

10. My Interpretation
The song is about a boy telling his girl please don't leave always have my back. He wants her to support him with everything that he does. He knows that there is a lot of ups and downs in the relationship but he knows they can get through it .The theme of the song is never leave a situation just because it is to hard.
