When the night has come, and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we will see
No, I won't be afraid, oh, 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, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain 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 meChorus 2x
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain 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
Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me
SoChorus
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me
Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me...
