Stand By Me
Gary Imhoff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we´ll see
Oh I won´t be afraid, no I won´t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So Pumba, Pumba, stand by me, oh oh oh stand by me
Ooh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains they should crumble to the sea
I won´t cry
You won´t cry?
Noo I won´t shed a tear
Not shed tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So Pumba, Pumba, stand by me, oh oh won´t you stand by me
Ooh stand, stand by me, stand by me
Eeh, I don´t think I like this sooong!
So Pumba, Pumba, stand by mee, oh oh won´t you stand by me
Ooh stand, come on! stand by me, stand by me
Timon?
Timon:
Yes?
Can I sing the next song?
Sure, as long as you stand by me!
Whenever you´re in trouble won´t you stand by me
Oh oh ooh stand by me
I know you need me, stand by me, oh oh oh oh stand by me oooh heey

When the night has come
At the time when the darkness takes over
And the land is dark
When everything around is pitch black
And the moon is the only light we´ll see
And the only source of light is the moon
Oh I won´t be afraid, no I won´t be afraid
I will not be scared, not even a little
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you stand next to me, supporting and protecting me.
If the sky that we look upon
If we see the sky is in trouble
Should tumble and fall
If the sky falls down to the ground
Or the mountains they should crumble to the sea
Or if the mountains collapse and go into the sea
I won´t cry
I will not shed any tears
Noo I won´t shed a tear
Absolutely not will I cry!
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
If you stay with me, supporting and protecting me, then I will not cry.
Whenever you´re in trouble won´t you stand by me
If you ever require any help, will you be there for me?
Oh oh ooh stand by me
Oh, please stand by me and support me.
I know you need me, stand by me, oh oh oh oh stand by me oooh heey
I understand that you depend on me, please be there for me to support me.

I really wish I could listen to more of his material. His voice tone is just magical, wow.

I just finished watching Thumbelina 1994 version of course and I just wanted to see what Gary looked land sounded like when he wasn't playing the Prince and I must admit he does have the younger sounding voice. :-) I can still hear prince Cornelius singing let me be your wings here.

This mans voice is something different! I’ve been told about my own unique voice and how it’s such in a good way, but because it’s so different despite others telling me how good it is, I always felt insecure growing up. Hearing the uniqueness in his voice demonstrates to me that it can not only be a good thing, but a great thing that people genuinely love! Great job!! And you have an extremely unique voice. Even if you weren’t trained and talented as to how you use it, I would still love to hear it.
