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
