When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we'll see

I won't cry, I won't cry

No I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me



So darlin', darlin'

Stand by me, oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now

Stand by me, stand by me



When the sky we look upon

Should crumble and fall

Or the mountain should tumble in the sea

No, I won't be afraid

No I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me



So darlin', darlin'

Stand by me, oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now

Stand by me, stand by me



So darlin', darlin'

Stand by me, oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now

Stand by me, stand by me



Whenever you're in trouble won't you

Stand by me, oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now

Stand by me, stand by me
