When the night has come and the land, it is dark 
And the moon is the only light that we see 
No, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid 
Just as long, just as long as you stand, stand by me 
If the sky, we look upon should tumble and fall 
And the mountains should crumble into the sea 
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, and I won't shed a tear 
Just as long, just as long as you stand, stand by me 
So darlin', darlin', stand, stand by me 
Oh, stand by me, oh, my darlin', please stand by me 
If the sky, we look upon should tumble and fall 
And the mountains should crumble into the sea 
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear 
Just as long, just as long as you stand, stand by me 
So darlin', darlin', stand, stand by me 
Oh, stand by me, oh, please stand by me 
Whenever I'm in trouble won't you stand, stand by me? 
Oh, stand by me, oh darlin', please stand by me
