Stand By Me (Acoustic Live)

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

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains 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

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh stand, won't you just stand by me.

Oh darling, darling stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand, just stand by me

Stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me hmmm
Stand by me darling
Oh Darling wont you stand be me (ohh just stand be me)
Oh Darling wont you stand be me (ohh just stand be me)
Oh Darling wont you stand be me (ohh just stand be me)

Stand by me
Oh stand be me
Oh stand, Won't you just stand by me

So we have not had any guests on this tour at all
But we could not resist tonight, a couple of folks
I don't think they'd mind me telling this story
But y'all can have a seat if you want to
I don't think they'd mind but if they do they can get mad at me later
We met these guys outside a club
We were playing a small radio show
In Boulder, Colorado
And (no way you all flew here, for real?)
(That's awesome, your first time in...)
(Well that's awesome, I thank you for coming)
I appreciate it
And we were outside this club,
The club was probably 5 or 6 hundred people maybe
And we meet this husband and wife
And they gave us a record and they gave us a letter and a record
They letter was about seeing us here
And how they had come to a slow spot in their career
They thought about giving it up and going home
I'm paraphrasing
But they came to one of our shows here at the Runyon
And it inspired them to keep going
Then which is crazy to think about
And we were just talking about it back there
I think Drew Holcombe and the Neighbours
Have been not only some of our best friends
But they've toured with us more than any other band out there
And uhm, Drew and Ellie Holcombe
And now we've had the privilege
I've actually had the privilege of seeing them here a couple of times
since which is just insane, for real
And I ... if I don't get emotional
