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
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 me

And darlin' darlin' - stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Whoa, stand now - stand by me
Stand by me

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
Whoa, stand now - oh, stand ...
