[Instrumental Intro]

[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

Oh, I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

[Chorus]

So darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Oh, stand

Stand by me, stand by me

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

And darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Woah, stand now

Stand by me, stand by me

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

Darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now

Stand by me, stand by me

[Outro]

Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me?

Oh, stand by me

Woah, just stand now

Oh, stand, stand by me
