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

oh i won't be afraid

just as long as you stand

stand by me

and darlin'darlin'

stand by me oh stand by me

oh stand now 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 darlin'darlin'

stand by me oh stand by me

oh stand now stand by me

stand by me

darlin'darlin'

stand by me oh stand by me

oh stand now stand by me

stand by me

whenever you're in trouble

won't you stand by me

oh stand by me

won't you stand now

oh stand stand by me
