Stand By Me
Gilley Mickey 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, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', 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 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, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

When the night has come
When darkness creeps in
And the land is dark
And everything around us is gray
And the moon is the only light we'll see
And the only source of light we have is the moon
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
I won't feel scared
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you are with me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
My dear, please stay with me
If the sky that we look upon
Even if the world as we know it
Should tumble and fall
Starts falling apart
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
And everything we held up high falls down
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
I won't cry
