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
stand by me stand by me
if the sky that 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
so darlin'darlin'stand by me
oh stand by me
oh stand now
stand by me stand by me
and darlin'darlin'would you stand by me
oh stand by me
oh stand now
stand by me stand by me
every breath you take
and every move you make
every bond you break
every step you take
i'll be watching you
every single day
and every word you say
every game you play
every night you stay
i'll be watching you
oh can't you see
you belong to me
how my poor heart aches
with every step you take
every move you make
and every vow you break
every smile you fake
every claim you stake
i'll be watching you
since you've gone i've been lost without a trace
i dream at night i can only see your face
i look around but it's you i can't replace
i feel so cold and i long for your embrace
i keep crying baby baby please
oh can't you see
you belong to me
how my poor heart aches
with every step you take
every single day
and every word you say
every game you play
every night you stay
i'll be watching you
every move you make
and every vow you break
every smile you fake
every claim you stake
i'll be watching you
