[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 shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

[Verse 2]
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble, tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble, crumble to the sea
I just got to tell you that I, I won't cry
No, oh, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
[Outro]
And darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, darlin', hear me, baby
Stand by me
