Best Stand By Poems
Stand by me when your dreams might fail,
And the burning light of your plans grows pale.
Stand by me when the world is cruel,
When they shake their heads, calling you a fool.
Come stand close, rest your head on my shoulder;
My feelings haven't changed, I simply grow older.
Cry your tears, I'll just be understanding;
I realize how life can be too demanding.
Stand by me when your heart is torn,
And your red eyes burn in the light of morn.
Stand by me; why go on alone,
When you knew I'd be here, just like this stone?
Come stand close, hide your face in my sweater.
For me right now, life couldn't get better.
I'll be here, like I've been for a while;
So stand by me that together we can smile.
Stand by me. Please don't leave again.
Never break my heart like you did back then.
Stand by me, and I'll stand by you;
Then I'll hold you the way I've always wanted to.
Stand real close, let the world be forgotten;
Breathe in the scent I wear, the smell of cotton.
Stand by me, I'll bear your weight of sorrow;
Hold on to me, I'll help you face tomorrow.

Whether I'm right, whether I'm wrong,
You stand by me, so easy to find,
like the repeating words of a song,
always right here on my mind.
Daylight shines and again, I see your face,
night comes near and still you stand by,
forever, with arms awaiting an embrace,
even if stones were falling from the sky.
You're feet never tire, they never ache,
as you stand by me for endless years,
steady and strong, even if the ground should quake,
now I have a reason to never shed tears.
That ocean was deep, but you pulled me through,
and saved a life that was sinking fast,
you just stand by me and I'm no longer blue,
a feeling that I want to ever last.
Because, my friend, you are so ideal,
with promises that stay unbroken,
I often wonder, how can you be real?,
a question that will go unspoken.
Whether I'm right, whether I'm wrong,
you stand by me, so easy to find,
like the repeating words of a song,
always right here on my mind.

Oh my darling the news is so bleak
I saw the consultant only last week
Perhaps we better start making plans
See the vicar; hear the wedding banns
All I’ve ever wanted was to be your wife
For better for worse, through trouble and strife
The consultant confirmed I’ll not last the year
Oh kiss me my darling; just hold me so near
Wedding plans float around in my head
My dying wish is that we should wed
Time's running out so we mustn’t linger
I need your wedding ring on my finger
A simple service, just as quiet as can be
All I ask my darling is that you stand by me

When your knees buckle,
friends walk away.
When you fly white knuckle,
filled with dismay.
When you've finally had your fill,
your family deserts you.
When you tire of picking up the bill,
feeling like no one's true.
Stand by me without fear,
I'll stand by you, right here.
When you are one, body and soul,
place first with an amazing run.
When you've achieved your goal,
feel like you're finally done.
When life's just right
a bowl of cherries.
When you feel your might
like in your twenties.
Stand by me we can celebrate,
I'll stand by you, cheer your fate.
When you just want to yell
because your sick of following.
When no one else hears the bell
and you don't feel like mellowing.
When the world is not too stark
and you have no fear you'll lose face.
When you finally make your mark
or feel in love with the human race.
"Stand by me?"you don't need to ask,
I'll stand by you I don't wear a mask.
Whether you're happy or sad
I'll be there every time.
Whether you feel good or bad
I'll show up fast on a dime.
Stand by me, do,
I'll stand by you.

Stand by me in the fields of dreams,
Where the clouds part and the sunset light beams,
Hear the river as it streams,
Down to where it redeems
Stand by me where the flowers blooms,
Where the sun does not loom,
Out of sight is where the fairies zoom,
This is where the animals groom,
Stand by me under the willow tree,
Where we once fell and grazed our knees,
Here is where the grass made us sneeze
Where we lied and cuddled and squeezed

When my road of life is tiring
I know your close at hand
When at the cross roads of the journey
By me you will always stand
From the moment I was born
You were always there
Lifting me up when I was down
You stay because you care
The days when my life is sunny
You smile with eternal grace
Linking arms walking tall
Together, anything, we can face
Any trials and tribulations
That life can throw at us
One mind, one hope, one prayer
No one can separate us
You are my guiding light
Showing me the way
No matter what I do that's trite
By my side you will always stay
You are my shadow
Together we face the day

Stand by me my Lord
In this age of ferment
Stand by me my Lord
In your sylvan garment
In this night, let your song be sung
Let the lambent moon be your eyes
Let the flower on your crest belong
To my soul's wisp of smiles
Stand by me my Lord
With an apparel of light
Stand by me my Lord
Be the center of my sight
Stand by me my Lord and bless me with valor
Fill my veins with a surge of blood new and fresh-no pallor

Stand By Me.
Could you hear their meaning.
And all they had to say.
If only they were given voice.
If there was a way.
When the gates are open.
No place for them to hide.
Would your arms be outstretched?
Or hanging by your side?
Would you look away?
Or turn a deafened ear?
Or would you move a little closer?
So that you could hear.
Would you put distance in between us?
Turn and walk away?
Or stand by me quietly?
To see what they would say?
As they travel from my heart.
And my eyes begin to leak.
Would you hear their meaning?
When my tears begin to speak?

When stars' twinkle
begin to dwindle,
and the moon ceases to glow,
I won’t have fear or sorrow,
as long you stand by me
When the skies fall down
from countryside to town,
leaving us in horrid suspension,
I won’t drown in frustration,
as long as you stand by me
When the world is filled with fire
and smoke of rebellion in the streets,
as people take lives without fear,
I won’t cry,
I won’t shed a tear;
just as long you stand by me
O, faith, stand by me forever........

When all the skies come falling down,
i ask you 'stand by me'
when I'm in the clouds and won't look down
I pray just wait for me
When I'm far away with thoughts of woe
I ask you let me be
When I tell you just to up and go
I pray you will not leave
If the tides do change, one day they might
I ask will we be free
If the darkness lifts from day to night
I pray its you I'll see
If all the rain should rainbows make
I ask you let it be
but if all the skies come falling down
I pray you'll 'stand by me'

Why do you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
You can lean on my shoulder
Don’t be ashamed to cry
I will be there for you
I’ll see you through
Because I’ve been where you are
I’ve seen the dark side too
When pressure rings down on you
You don’t know what to do
Nothing you can say to me
Will make me lose faith in you
I won’t let anybody hurt you
Not as long as I’m here
I will always protect you
Like I’m your own little bear
So if you’re angry get angry
Don’t hold it inside
Come on now
You can not hide
I’ll do what you do
I’ll get angry too
And that’s why I can help you
I’m just like you
I will follow you into the darkest night
Make sure you still stand
I’ll walk right by your side
And hold on to your hand
As you look straight ahead
And see your future
You will see me there too
As my heart becomes yours
When you’re stuck between two paths
Don’t know which to choose
Let me come along, because even if your wrong
I’ll stand by you

When the storms of life are raging
stand by me. When all else around me
fails, stand by me. Hold me in Your
loving arms, and keep me safe from
harm. Lord You are my comforter when
I am weary. When the dark clouds seem
to hover up above You light my way. You
help me to make it day by day. When I'm
lost You show me the way. Lord where
would I be if it had not been for You. You
give me hope, and help me through.
When the storms of life is raging You
can calm the stormy seas. Thank You
for standing by me.

Ballad
Beloved, we stand by Valentine's shores,
we are as gentle as a turtle dove,
our dreams ever open up Heaven’s doors.
Together we do share a precious love,
as we both do lie by the starlight stream,
our love does raise us to Heaven above.
We shall ever lie beneath starlight gleam,
where our hearts shall take flight and peaceful soar,
we ever find ourselves in starlight dream.
We shall ever stand by Valentine's shore,
as we stand together in the divine,
you shall ever be the one I adore.
Divinity sings as Luna does shine,
You are now my eternal Valentine.

Many who help celebrate our victories
Leave early in our defeat
Many who applaud our few accomplishments
Jump ship when failure we do meet
Many who join our team while we’re on top
Don other caps when we are in last place
Many people are just fair-weather friends
Who abandon us in disgrace
If you stand by me in the hour of defeat
If you stand by me when failure I meet
If you stand by me when I’m in last place
If you stand by me when I wear disgrace
Then I’ll count you as a friend indeed
And I’ll stand by you in your time of need
