Lyrics
When the night, has comeAnd the land is darkAnd the moon, is the only, light we’ll see
No I won’t, be afraidNo I won’t, be afraidJust as long, as you stand, stand by me
So darlin’, darlin’ stand, by me
Oh-oh stand by meOh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky, that we look upon, should tumble and fallOr the mountains, should crumble, to the seaI won’t cry, I won’t cry, no-no-no I won’t shed a tearJust as long, as you stand, by me
And darlin’, darlin’ stand, by meOh-oh-oh, stand, by meOh darling, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Whoa-oh-oh, ay-ayMa-ma-my, my-ee
If the mountains should crumble to the sea
Ma-ma-my-my-my
When the night, has comeAnd, and the land is darkAnd the moon, is the only, only light we’ll see
So darlin’, darlin’ stand, by me, oh-oh stand by meOh darling, stand by me, stand by meWhenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand, by meOh-oh-oh-oh-oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
So darlin’, darlin’, stand, oh-oh, oo-oo, oh-ohAs long as I know I got you right hereRight here by my sideCome on, come on, stand, stand right here
