Verse

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, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Chorus

And darling, darling, stand by me
Oh nah, nah, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

Verse

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
and the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry. I won't cry, no I, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Chorus

And darling, darling, stand by me
Oh nah, nah, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-ee yeah

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh nah, nah, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darling, darling, stand by me - hee
Stand by me
C D G (fade out)
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me - hee, hee
