[Intro]
When the night, is gone
Land is dark and the moon is the only light you'll see
I didn't write this song
No I won't be afraid
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

[Chorus]
So darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Woah, stand, won't you stand, stand by me?

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Woah, stand, won't you stand, stand by me?
Let me hear ya'll singin'
[Chorus]
So darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Woah, stand, won't you stand, stand by me?

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Stand by me-e-e
Stand by me-e-e
Stand by me-e-e, mmm
Stand by me darling
Darling won't you stand by me? (oh won't you stand by me?)
Darling won't you stand by me? (oh darling won't you stand by me?)
Darling won't you stand? (won't you stand?)
Won't you stand? (won't you stand?)

[Chorus]
Darling darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Woah, stand, won't you stand, stand by me?

[Spoken Outro]
So, we uh
We have not had any guests on this tour at all, and uh
But we could not resist tonight a couple, couple folks
I don't, I don't think they'd mind to be tellin' this story
But, um ya'll can have a seat if you want to
Uh, I don't think they'd mind and if they do they can get mad at me later, um
But we met these guys, um outside of a club
We were playing a small radio show in Boulder, Calorado
No way ya'll flew from here, for real?
That's awesome, haha
Your first time at the Ryman?
That's awesome man, um
Well thanks for coming I appreciate it, and uh
We were outside this club
The club was maybe 5-600 people maybe
We meet this husband and wife, and uh
They gave us a record, and they gave us a letter in the record
And, the letter was about seeing us here, and uh
And how they had kinda come to like a slow spot in their career
And thought about giving it up, going home
But they came to one of our shows here at the Ryman
And inspired them to keep going
Then yeah, which is crazy to think about
And we were just talking about it back there
I think Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors
Not only some of our best friends but they've toured with us more than any other band out there
And uh, Drew and Ellie you wanna?
Yeah
(*Cheering*)
And now we've had the privilege, I've had the privilege of actually seeing them here
Which is actually insane, for real
Alright, let's get this going so I don't get emotional
