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
