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

So darling, darling

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 mountains should crumble
To {in?} the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry

No, I won't she'd a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

So darling, darling

Stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand
Stand by me
Stand by me

{Dans certaines versions seulement:}

Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you

Stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand
Stand by me
Stand by me

{Ad lib}
