Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

No, I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

[Verse 2]

And darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, now, now, stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me

[Verse 3]

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

And 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 darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me

Stand by me, yeah

[Verse 5]

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

Darlin', darlin', stand by me

Yes, stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me
