and the land is dark.
And the moon,
is the only light we'll see.
No, I won't, be afraid
Oh I-iiiiii won't
Be afraid
Just as long as you
stand, stand by me.
So darlin', darlin'
stand...by me
oooo stand by me (x2)
Stand by me (x2)
when the sky -
that we look upon,
should tumble and fall.
or the mountain,
should crumble to the sea.
I won't cry, I won't cry.
No I-iiii won't shed a tear.
Just as long
As you stand
Stand by me.
and darlin', darlin'
Stand, by me.
ooo wont you
stand by me.
wont you stay
wont you stay
stand by me.
(Instrumental Portion)
ooo Darlin', darlin'
Stand, by me.

When the night has come,
and the land is dark.
And the moon,
is the only light we'll see.
I won't cry, I won't cry.
No I-iiii won't shed a tear.
Just as long
As you stand
Stand by me.
so darlin', darlin'
Stand, by me.

Darlin', darlin'

stand by me.
when the sky -
that we look upon,
tumble and fall.
or the mountain,
crumble to the sea.
I won't cry, I won't cry.
No I-iiii won't shed a tear.
Just as long
As you stand
Stand by me.
Darlin', darlin'

Ben E. King's rendition of 'Stand By Me' as a punk cover reimagines the classic soul standard with a raw, energetic approach characteristic of the punk movement. While King is historically celebrated for his smooth vocal delivery and the original recording's enduring status as a pop and soul anthem, this specific version adapts the song's melodic structure to fit a faster, grittier tempo.

Released within the context of punk rock, the recording serves as a testament to the genre's tradition of covering timeless songs and injecting them with new, rebellious energy. It stands as a notable example of King's discography extending beyond his primary genre into the broader landscape of rock and roll.
