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

 

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 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
