Verse 1
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
—
Chorus
So darlin’, darlin’, stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me
—
Verse 2
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
—
Chorus
