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
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
Stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain 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, won't you stand now, oh, stand
Stand by me

Line by Line Meaning

When the night has come
When the darkness of the night has fallen upon us


And the land is dark
And the surrounding environment is devoid of light


And the moon is the only light we'll see
And the only source of light is the moon shining in the sky


No I won't be afraid
I will not feel fear in my heart


Oh, I won't be afraid
I will have the courage to face any challenge


Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you continue to support and stand by my side


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


Should tumble and fall
Were to collapse and crumble down


Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
Or if the imposing mountains were to break down and fall into the sea


I won't cry, I won't cry
I will not give in to despair and sadness


No, I won't shed a tear
I will not let myself be overwhelmed by negative emotions


Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you remain steadfast and loyal to me


So darling, darling
So my dear, my beloved


Stand by me, oh stand by me
Stay with me, support me


Oh stand, stand by me
Remain standing by my side


Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Whenever you face difficulty, will you support me?


Oh stand by me, won't you stand now, oh, stand
Please stay with me now, won't you?
