Stand By Me
Preluders 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 darlin' darlin' stand by me, hoooh
Stand by me, hoh stand now, stand by me, stand by me

If the sky there 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 she'd a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin' darlin' stand by me, hoooh stand by me, hoh
Stand, stand by me, stand by me.

And darlin' darlin' stand by me, hoooh stand by me, hoh
Stand, stand by me, stand by me

(We all we having trouble around you)
Stand (eyyy) by me hoooh stand by me, hoh stand now,
(Stand by me) stand by me, (stand by me)stand by me.

And darlin' darlin' stand by me, hoooh stand by me,




(Lang-hohaa) stand, stand by me, stand by me.
(Noch 2x bis zum SchluЯ)

Overall Meaning

In the song "Stand By Me" by Preluders, the singer describes a dark and uncertain night where the only light is the moon. Despite the fear that could easily creep in during such a moment, the singer expresses confidence in the presence of her loved one, saying that as long as they "stand by me," she won't be afraid. The repetitive chorus emphasizes the importance of having someone to stand by you through difficult times.


The second verse builds upon the theme of uncertainty and potential danger. The singer imagines the sky and the mountains falling apart, which could easily provoke fear and tears. However, again, the crucial element is the presence of the loved one who will stand by her side no matter what happens.


The song is a beautiful expression of the value of companionship and support during hard times. It acknowledges that fear and uncertainty are a natural part of life, but having someone to lean on can make all the difference.
