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
Ooh-oh, 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 in 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

And darlin', darlin'
Stand by me
Ooh-oh, stand by me
Whoo, stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

Darlin', darlin'
Stand by me
Ooh-oh, stand by me
Whoo, stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me
Ooh, stand by me
