Lyrics

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon
Is the only light we see
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
So darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
All 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 darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me?
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me
Darling, darling, stand by me
Stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me
