Bruno Camurati 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
So Darling, Darling
Oh Stand, Stand By Me
Stand By Me
If The Sky That We Look Upon
Should Tumble And Fall
All 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 Darling, Darling
Stand By Me, Oh Stand By Me
Oh Stand Now, Stand By Me
Stand By Me
So 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, Oh Won't You Stand Now, Stand
Stand By Me
The lyrics of Bruno Camurati's song Stand By Me speak about the comfort and security one feels when someone they love stands by their side. The first verse describes a dark and uncertain time, represented by the night, but the singer is not afraid as long as their loved one stands by their side. The chorus reiterates this point, asking the beloved to stand by them and providing a sense of safety and support.
The second verse presents an even more dire situation, where the sky is falling and the mountains are crumbling. Despite this metaphorical apocalypse, the singer again insists that they won't cry as long as their beloved stands by them. The final chorus repeats the same message, asking the beloved to stand by them whenever they are in trouble.
Overall, the song is about the power of support and companionship, even in the darkest of times. It speaks to the feeling of safety that comes with having a loved one by your side through good times and bad.
