[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, be afraid
Just as long as you stand by me

[Chorus]
So darling, darling, stand by me, oh, stand by me
Why won't you stand, why won't you stand by me?
So darling, darling, stand by me, oh, stand by me
Why won't you stand, why won't you stand by me?

[Verse 2]
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
And the mountains, they should crumble into the sea
No, I won't, I won't cry, won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

[Chorus]
So darling, darling, stand by me, oh, stand by me
So stand, won't you stand by me?
So darling, darling, stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, why won't you stand? You got to stand by me
Come on, hey

[Outro]
(Stand by me) Won't you stand by me?
(Stand by me) In the morning, noon and evening
(Stand by me) Stand, oh, you can call on me
(Stand by me) Call on me, call on me, yeah, on me
(Stand by me) Won't you stand by me?
(Stand by me) You got to call on me, girl
(Stand by me) Never, never gonna be, oh
(Stand by me) Never, never let you go, oh
(Stand by me) Yeah, oh
(Stand by me) Stand by me
