Stand By Me

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

So darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, won't you stand by me
Just as long as you stand
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, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

So darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, won't you stand by me
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me?
Oh, won't you stand by me
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

Oh darlin'




Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Stand by Me" by Ben E. King are a call to find comfort in the presence of a loved one during difficult times. The song begins with a dark and desolate setting where one can only see the moon's light. In that moment, the singer asserts that he won't be afraid as long as he has his loved one by his side. The chorus is a plea for the loved one to continue standing by the singer's side, providing support and comfort.


The second verse presents a scenario where the sky falls and the mountains crumble to the sea. Despite this apocalyptic image, the singer does not intend to cry or shed tears. The presence of the loved one is enough to bring calm and strength in this dark reality. The final verse reiterates the plea for the loved one's continuous presence in the singer's life.


Line by Line Meaning

When the night has come
As evening sets in


And the land is dark
And darkness surrounds us


And the moon is the only light we'll see
And the moon is the only source of illumination we'll have


No, I won't be afraid
I will not be scared


No I, I won't be afraid
I will not be scared


Just as long as you stand
As long as you stay with me


Stand by me
Stay with me


So darlin', darlin'
My dear, my love


Stand by me, oh, won't you stand by me
Stay with me, won't you?


If the sky that we look upon
If the sky we're gazing at


Should tumble and fall
Suddenly collapse


And the mountains should crumble to the sea
And the mountains should disintegrate and fall into the ocean


I won't cry, I won't cry
I will not weep


No I, I won't shed a tear
I won't cry


Just as long as you stand
As long as you stay with me


Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me?
Will you stay with me whenever I face difficulties?


Oh, won't you stand by me
Oh, stay with me


Oh darlin'
Oh, my love


Just as long as you stand
As long as you stay with me


Stand by me
Stay with me

Fique Ao Meu Lado

Quando a noite chegar
E a terra estiver escura
E a lua for a única luz que vemos
Não, eu não estarei com medo, não, eu não vou ter medo
Desde que você fique, fique ao meu lado
E, querida, fique ao meu lado agora, querida
Fique ao meu lado
Fique comigo, fique ao meu lado

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we 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
Ot 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
(Repeat * 2 times)

Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me, oh stand by me
