By Ben E. King
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, no I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin’, darlin’…
Chorus
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 mountain 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
So darlin’ darlin’
Chorus
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me
