Stand By Me
"And darling, darling, stand by me, Oh stand by me"
With his guitar in hand, the man belts his famous song.
I could listen to that old voice all night long.
"If the sky, that we look upon, should tumble and fall"
As I listen to the legendary B. B. King
There's no question he's getting old, but the man can still sing!
"I won't cry, I won't cry, Oh I won't shed a tear -
Just as long as you stand by me"
As his song comes to a close
I wipe the tears that fell on either side of my nose
The old soul is still picking at the quitar strings
"Stand by Me" - B. B. King
*Written specifically for Raul Moreno's contest "B.B.King"
My fav genre of music "R&B" (the "blues") B.B.King is one of the greats,
As are Ray Charles, and Otis Redding!
