Stand by Me Lyrics

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’, stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand by now
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains 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', stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand now
Stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble you can come and call me
I'ma be right there no matter what, I promise
And when all this ends, I’m still hеre, regardless
Doеsn’t matter the capacity, I got this
You don't every have to worry bout a thing
I will help you get through whatever life brings
I will do my best to keep you upright
Even if that means I have to leave the sunlight
I would stand in the dark for you. Plan to embark
On outlandish and possibly dangerous plots
For the sake of your heart, I will break till I drop
If you ache for the top I’ll be raising you up
And if all you ever need is just a hand
I will be there to hold you, as long as your standing
The fact of the matter is I need you too
So darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won’t you stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand now
Stand by me, stand by me
