Stand By

by John Lee Sanders

/

about

I wrote this song around 1989. I had just gone through a tough separation from my 1st marriage, and had started working on the road with Paul Williams, legendary Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe songwriter, one of the most successful of all time. His lyrics always felt so personal, and still do to this day. I was flying much of the time, and waiting in airports. The imagery of seeing so many emotional tearful goodbyes at airport terminals inspired the title "Stand By", and the rest of the song followed the story line. I recorded a few different versions, including one on my first CD, World Blue, but this version was done for a music video that I produced in Vancouver years after the song was written.
