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

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,

Or 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.

Darling, darling stand by me,

Oh, now, now, 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

stand by me, stand by me

Darling, darling, stand by me

oh, now, now, 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

stand by me, stand by me

Darling, darling, stand by me

oh, now, now, stand by me

stand by me, stand by me
