Stand By Me
Signature Sound 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, 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-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Isaiah 43:1‭-‬2 KJV

Oh Lord stand by me
in this deep dark valley.
Oh Lord stand by me
as I struggle in this valley

Oh Lord stand by me
on this high mountain.
Oh Lord stand by me
as I climb this high mountain.

Oh Lord stand by me
when I fall into the stormy sea.
Oh Lord stand by me
as I struggle in the stormy waters

Oh Lord stand by me
on the good days.
Oh Lord stand by me
on the bad days.

Oh Lord stand by me
when I'm on this roller coaster ride
we call life.
Oh Lord stand by me
when I'm on this roller coaster ride
we call life.

Oh Lord I know You will stand by me
all through life's struggles.
Oh Lord I know You will stand by me
through all my rough rides.
Oh Lord I know You will stand by me
through all the ups and downs.
Oh Lord I know You will stand by me
through all of life's disappointments.

So nice to see a deep man's voice take front & center and not relegated to the "rhythm section."

You must not know southern gospel music very well.
