Composer : Jerry Lieber/Mike Stoller

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 darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now

Stand by me, stand by me

So 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

And 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

So darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now

Stand by me, stand by me

So 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

And 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

So darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now

Stand by me, stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now

Stand by me, stand by me
