[19 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
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 mountain 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
And darling, darling
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Whoa, stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Darling, darling
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
Won't you stand now? Oh, stand
Stand by me
When all of your friends is gone
"Stand By Me" is a timeless classic song that speaks about standing strong and being there for someone no matter what the situation is. From the first verse, Ben E. King sets the tone of the song as being during the night, where it's dark, and the only source of light is the moon, singing "When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we'll see." Even though the night may be long and uncertain, he states that he won't be afraid as long as the person he's singing to stands by him. He assures this by repeating the chorus and emphasizing the words "Stand by me," showing the significance of the person staying by him in all situations.
The second verse takes it a step further, speaking about what might happen if the sky were to fall or the mountains were to crumble. Even in the most catastrophic of events, the singer reassures that he won't cry or shed a single tear, but rather keep his head up high as long as his companion stands by him. The emotions this song captures are universal, making it a comforting tune for anyone going through a tough time. Whether through support in a trying personal predicament, or support of a friend who needs your shoulder to cry on, "Stand By Me" validates the importance of being there for people in all seasons of life.

When the night has come
When darkness falls upon us at the end of the day
And the land is dark
And the surroundings become obscure
And the moon is the only light we'll see
And the only guiding light visible is the distant moon
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't give in to fear
Oh, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't let fear control me
Just as long as you stand
As long as you stand with me
Stand by me
Stand by my side
So darling, darling
So my dear, my dear
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Stand by my side, oh, stand by my side
Oh, stand, stand by me
Oh, be with me every moment
If the sky that we look upon
If the sky above us
Should tumble and fall
Suffers a catastrophic collapse
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
Or even if the mighty mountain falls to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
I will stay strong, I will not cry
No, I won't shed a tear
No, I won't show my pain
Just as long as you stand
As long as you stand with me
Stand by me
Stand by my side
And darling, darling
And my dear, my dear
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Stand by my side, oh, stand by my side
Whoa, stand now, stand by me
Whoa, be with me now, stand by my side
Stand by me
Stand by my side
Darling, darling
My dear, my dear
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Stand by my side, oh, stand by my side
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Oh, be with me now, stand by my side
Stand by me
Stand by my side
Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me?
Whenever you are in distress, stand by my side, won't you?
Oh, stand by me
Oh, be with me
Won't you stand now? Oh, stand
Won't you be with me now? Oh, stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by my side
When all of your friends is gone
When all of your friends have left you
