Stand by Me

From Vincent McDermott

MY OLD FRIEND

The news of your passing has tested my memory banks of the many happy years living, working and mostly playing when you where with us during our youth in Riverton. Alan did the best cowardly lion impression ever, and his practical jokes at the Lippincott boat works were so funny I often laughed so hard it would tear me up. He was our big, brave and gentle bear of a friend.

I celebrate with you his life. We shall sail on another day.This old song reminds me of my friend Alan “Trapper” Lippincott

When the night has come
And the land is dark,
And the moon is the only light we'll see.
No I won't be afraid,
Oh I won't be afraid,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin' darlin' stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me.

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall,
Or the mountain should 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.

And darlin' darlin' stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me.

Darlin' darlin' stand by me,
Oh stand by me,Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me.
Whenever you're in trouble
just stand by me,Oh stand by me,
Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me.,
by B King

My condolences to the entire Lippincott Family. Thanks Paul
