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
Chorus
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.
Verse 2
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
Chorus
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.
Chorus
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.
Chorus
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.
