When the night is dark, and the moon is bright, and the mountains all tumble into the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you come and stand by me

Chorus:
Stand by me, come on darling, stand by me
Oh why don't you, come and stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand, won't you stand Come on, come and stand by me

When the night is dark and the moon is bright
And the mountains just tumble into the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you come and stand by me

Chorus:
Stand by me, come on darling, stand by me
Oh why don't you, come and stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Come and stand by me

When the night is dark and the moon is bright
And the mountains just tumble into the sea
When husbands and wives stand firm on the picket line
Well I ask you, come and stand by me

Hit it!
Chorus:
Stand by me, come on darling, stand by me
Oh why don't you, come and stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand
Won't you stand, come on
Come and stand by me

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come and stand by me
