Stand by Me Lyrics

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

[Chorus]
So darlin'‚ darlin'‚ stand by me
Whoa, stand by me
Whoa, stand now
Stand by me‚ stand by me

[Verse 2]
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble in 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

[Chorus]
And darlin', darlin', stand by me
Whoa, stand by me
Whoa, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Whoa, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me

[Outro]
Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me?
(Stand by me, stand by me)
Oh, stand by me
(Stand by me, stand by me)
Whoa, stand now (Stand by me)
Stand by me, stand by me
C'mon (Stand by me), c'mon now, stand, stand by me
(Stand by me, stand by me)
Whoa, whoa, oh, stand by me
(Stand by me, stand by me)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
