(KING/LEIBER/STOLLER)



PERFORMED BY JOHN LENNON (1975)





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

AND DARLING DARLING STAND BY ME

OH 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 SHARE 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 YOUR IN TROUBLE

WON'T YOU STAND BY ME

OH STAND BY ME, STAND BY ME, STAND BY ME

AND DARLING DARLING STAND BY ME

OH STAND BY ME

STAND BY ME, STAND BY ME, STAND BY ME
