    Lyrics »

When the night has come and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand by me

And darling darling stand by me
Oh darling, won't you please
Stand by me
Whenever I'm in trouble
Won't you stand,
Stand by me

Now if the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand by me
