[Verse 1]
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only
Light we'll see

[Verse 2]
No, I won't be afraid
No, I-I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

[Chorus]
And darlin', darlin', stand by me
Whoa, stand by me
Whoa, stand, now
Stand by me, stand by me

[Verse 3]
If the sky we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain
Should crumble to the sea

[Verse 4]
I won't cry, I just won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
[Chorus]
And darlin', darlin', stand by me
Whoa, stand by me
Whoa, stand, now
Stand by me, stand by me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
No, I won't be afraid
No, I-I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

[Chorus]
And darlin', darlin', stand by me
Whoa, stand by me
Whoa, stand, now
Stand by me, stand by me

[Chorus]
Whenever you got trouble
Won't you stand by me?
Whoa, stand by me
Whoa, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
[Chorus]
And darlin', darlin', stand by me
I need you to stand by me
Whoa, you gotta stand now
Hey, stand by me, stand by me

[Outro]
Whenever you got trouble
Won't you stand by me?
Whoa, stand by me
