Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light you see

No, I won't be afraid

No, I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand

Stand by me

[Verse 2]

So darling, darling, stand by me

Oh, stand (By) Me

Just as long, just as long as you stand

(Won't you stand?)

(Won't you stand?)

Stand by me

Stand by me

[Verse 3]

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

Or the mountains 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

[Verse 4]

And darling, darling, stand by me

Oh, now, now, now, stand by me

Oh, stand

(Won't you stand?)

Won't you stand

(Won't you stand?)

Stand by me?

(Won't you stand by me?)

[Verse 5]

Darling, darling (Stand by me)

(Oh, stand by me)

Oh, stand now

(Won't you stand?)

Stand by me

(Won't you stand?)

Stand by me

(Won't you stand by me?)

[Verse 6]

Whenever you're in trouble

Won't you stand?

(Stand by me)

Oh, now, now, now, now, stand

(Oh, stand by me)

Oh, stand

(Won't you stand?)

Won't you stand?

Won't you stand

Stand by me?

(Won't you stand by me?)

Stand by me

[Verse 7]

Just as long, just as long as you stand

(Won't you stand?)

(Won't you stand?)

Stand by me

Stand by me
