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, 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 me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
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
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh, stand now by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me

When the night has come
When darkness surrounds us
And the land is dark
And our world is enshrouded in darkness
And the moon is the only light we'll see
With the moon offering our only source of light
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
I won't fear, I won't fear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you remain by my side
So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
So my love, my love, stay beside me, oh stay beside me
If the sky that we look upon
If the very sky above us
Should tumble and fall
Were to crumble and crash down
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
Or if mountains were to plunge into the ocean
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't shed a single tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you remain by my side
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
And my love, my love, stay beside me, oh stay beside me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble, please stand by me, oh please stay by my side now
Oh stand by me, stand by me
Oh stay by me, stay by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me
Oh stay by me, stay by me
