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 darling, darling


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

To {in?} the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry


No, I won't she'd a tear
Just as long as you stand

Stand by me

So darling, darling


Stand by me
Oh, stand by me

Oh, stand
Stand by me
Stand by me


{Dans certaines versions seulement:}


Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you


Stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand

Stand by me
Stand by me


{Ad lib}
