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
And, darling, darling stand by me, oh now now
Stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
Should tumble and fall
And 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
Stand 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, stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
The song "Stand By Me" is a beautiful and powerful ode to the strength of love and friendship. The lyrics describe a dark land where the only light is the moon, and in this darkness, the singer is not afraid as long as their loved one stands by their side. The repeated refrain of "darling, darling stand by me" emphasizes the importance of having someone to depend on in difficult times. Even if the sky falls and the mountains crumble, the singer won't cry or shed a tear, because as long as they have someone standing with them, they feel invincible. The song ends with an affirmation of the power of standing by one another, and a call for the listener to stand by those in trouble.
This song has been interpreted in many different ways by different artists and audiences, but at its core, it is a song about solidarity and the importance of love and friendship. The lyrics are simple but profound, and the melody is haunting and beautiful. It is a song that has resonated with people all over the world for decades, and it continues to be a beloved classic to this day.

When the night has come
When the darkness covers the sky and the day is over
And the land is dark
And everything around us is black, we cannot see clearly
And the moon is the only light we'll see
And the only source of light to guide us is the moon
No, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid
I won't be scared, I won't be scared
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you are here with me, supporting me
And, darling, darling stand by me, oh now now
And my beloved, please accompany me, now and forever
Stand by me
Stay by my side, don't leave me alone
Stand by me, stand by me
Stay close to me, don't stray
If the sky that we look upon
If the sky we stare at
Should tumble and fall
Suddenly collapses and falls apart
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
And the mighty mountains around us collapse 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 weep, I will stay strong
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you are close to me, supporting me
And, darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Please stay with me, dear, don't leave me alone

Stand by me, stand by me, stay close to me, oh yeah

Don't leave my side, stand by me, stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
My one and only, stay by my side, don't leave me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Stay with me, stay with me, keep me company
