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
And, 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
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

And, darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
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-e, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
