When the night has come and the land, it is dark

And the moon is the only light that we see

No, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid

Just as long, just as long as you stand, stand by me

If the sky, we look upon should tumble and fall

And the mountains should crumble into the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry, no, and I won't shed a tear

Just as long, just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand, stand by me

Oh, stand by me, oh, my darlin', please stand by me

If the sky, we look upon should tumble and fall

And the mountains should crumble into the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear

Just as long, just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand, stand by me

Oh, stand by me, oh, please stand by me

Whenever I'm in trouble won't you stand, stand by me?

Oh, stand by me, oh darlin', please stand by me
