Text:

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 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.

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me.

Oh, stand now, stand by me, stand by me. [Instrumental section]

     
And, 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 now stand by me, stand by me, stand by me,
stand by me.​
