Stand By Me
Skylar Grey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
So darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or 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
So darlin', darlin', stand by me,
Oh stand by me
Oh stand now
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me

When the night has come
When darkness surrounds us
And the land is dark
And everything seems gloomy
And the moon is the only light we'll see
And the moon is our only source of light
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
I won't let fear overcome me
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you are there to support me
So darlin', darlin', stand by me
My beloved, please stand by my side

Oh stand
Just stand with me
Stand by me, stand by me
Support and be there for me, always
If the sky that we look upon
If the sky we gaze at
Should tumble and fall
Starts to crumble and collapse
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
Or if the mountains erode into the ocean
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
I won't give in to sadness, I won't cry
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you remain steadfast by my side
So darlin', darlin', stand by me
My beloved, please stand with me
Oh stand by me

I will forever be going through an ectopic pregnancy after being abandoned by the baby's father whenever I hear this. Grateful I had two strong empowered women to help me go through it and the blessing of a church. Thanks be to God. RIP B.
