Lyrics

When the night (when the night) has come
And the land is so dark (dark)
And the moon is the only light we see, my brother
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Mm-mm, ah-ah, stand by me (stand by me)
Oh, if the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
All the mountain should
Crumble down to the sea, oh, yeah
I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand by me
Don't you worry (oh) stand by me
Oh, stand by me, oh, ooh
Oh, stand, stand by me
Oh, yeah, yeah, mm, yeah
(Stand, stand, stand by me)
Can you stand by my side (stand, stand, stand by me)
Every once in a while I may be the ride
Oh, come on and stand, stand, stand by me (look at here)
If you're ever in trouble
Stand by me
Damn it, just look over your shoulder
I'll be standing there (oh yeah)
You're gonna find me standing, standing
Standing right there (standing right by your side) (stand by me)
Don't you worry, stand by me (c'mon)
Oh, stand by me, oh, ooh (oh, c'mon, oh, c'mon)
Stand, stand by me (stand by me)
Ooh, hey, stand by me (oh stand by me)
Oh stand, and stand by me
Oh, stand, girl, I need you (stand) (stand by me)
Stand by me (stand by me)
Stand by me
C'mon and stand (stand), stand by me (stand by me)
Oh, every day
