Best Stand By Me 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
U
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?
Edwin
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'

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.
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
Please love me and stand by me
It brings me comfort in times of need
When problems arise and hope slips through my hands
I hope you come closer and take a firm stand
Life will always have its ups and downs
I will not always be happy I will sometimes frown
But as long as you hold me and kiss me with care
The storm clouds will pass the day will be clear
Trials and tribulations will engulf me sometimes
But I can weather the storm with you in my life
When small waves become a tumultuous sea
I know I will make it if you stand by me
Within your protective shell
wherein settled my fathers spell
i am born in wonderment
and grow in stages, an endowment
Awed by my growth i kick
and feel your pleasure so quick
everything so new around, plea
fine as long as you stand by me.
Its a new world strange
only mom with no change
I struggle within to adapt
and grow amazed and apt
discover new things in the process
doing great as time progress
awed by the world i see
happy as you stand by me
Then i meet another as you
as if a stage of life in queue
she opens up a different world
igniting passion that unfurled
a sensual touch and i falls
into an abyss, enthralls
so like you yet different is she
but i am complete as you stand by me
You leave me for another world
i wait in vain, curled
what have i done for thee
i try but cannot see
then i feel your presence again
unable to glimpse i am in pain
you comfort me through zephyr by the sea
and i feel better as you stand by me.

Stand by Me
No matter what life sends to us
Be it tomorrow or today,
I can accept whatever comes
If you just stand by me, I pray.
Togetherness brings courage, hope,
You feel my strength and I feel yours…
When days are dark, no light to see
I know you will find open doors.
Please stand by me no matter what,
And let me know you surely would
Do as I would in your support
If bad times overtake the good.
And I will never be afraid
In knowing that you’ll always be
The one I lean on through my days...
Please, darling, always stand by me.
