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 in 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
