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 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 darling
darling stand by me
oh
stand by me
stand by me
stand by me
stand by me
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
darling
darling stand by me
stand by me
oh stand by me
stand by me
stand by me
