Stand By Me
Kindbergs 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
Darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble in to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
My darlin', won´t you stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
My darlin', won´t you stand by me
Darlin', stand by me
Oh oh oh stand won't you stand by me,
(Oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh stand won´t You stand by me

When the night has come
When darkness surrounds us
And the land is dark
And we cannot see what lies ahead
And the moon is the only light we'll see
And the only source of light is the moon
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
I won't fear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you stand with me
If the sky that we look upon
If we see the sky
Should tumble and fall
Collapse and fall apart
Or the mountains should crumble in to the sea
Or the mountains sink into the ocean
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
I won't cry or be sad
Just as long as you stand by me
As long as you are by my side
My darlin', won´t you stand by me
My love, please stay with me
Darlin', stand by me
Stay by my side, love
Oh oh oh stand won´t you stand by me,
Please stand with me
