When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, 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 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 darling darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

Darling darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me, oh stand by me
