Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
[PreChorus]
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
[Chorus]
So darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand
Stand by me, stand by me
[Verse 2]
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
[PreChorus]
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
[Chorus]
So darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, now
Stand by me
[Verse 3]
Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, now
Stand by me, stand by me
