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

Chorus :
(So/And) 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 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

[Chorus] x 2

Whenever you're in trouble 
just stand by me
Oh stand by me
Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me
