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 now stand by me

if the sky we look upon

should tumble and fall

or the mountains 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 now stand by me

whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me

oh stand by me

oh stand now stand by me
