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 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 mountains 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
So darlin', darlin',
stand-- by me,
oh-- stand------ by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
