Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the night has come
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
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, 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
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

Darling, darling, stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Line by Line Meaning

When the night has come
At nightfall

And the land is dark
And the darkness envelops us

And the moon is the only light we'll see
And only the moon illuminates the night

No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
I won't fear anything

Just as long as you stand, stand by me
If you stay beside me

And darling, darling, stand by me, oh now, now stand by me
And my love, stand right beside me

If the sky that we look upon
If the sky we gaze at

Should tumble and fall
Collapses and falls apart

And the mountains should crumble to the sea
And the mountains disintegrate into the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
I won't cry nor shed a single tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you stay close to me

And darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me
My love, stand with me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now, now stand by me
If you face any problems, will you stay beside me?

Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Stay close to me, stay by my side

Darling, darling, stand by me-e, stand by me
Sweetheart, be with me, stay with me

Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Stay by my side, stay with me
