Stand By Me
The Rocker Covers 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 see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling 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 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 darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

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

Darling, darling stand by me




Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Line by Line Meaning

When the night has come
When darkness envelops the world


And the land is dark
And everything around is shrouded in black


And the moon is the only light we see
When the only illumination is the moon in the sky


No I won't be afraid
I refuse to be afraid


No I won't be afraid
I refuse to be afraid


Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you're with me, I'll be fearless


And darling, darling stand by me
My dear, my dear, stand next to me


Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, right now, now stand by me


Stand by me, stand by me
Stay with me, stand by me


If the sky that we look upon
Even if we gaze upon a falling sky


Should tumble and fall
Crumbling and falling around us


And the mountain should crumble to the sea
The mountain should fall into the ocean


I won't cry, I won't cry
I won't cry about it


No I won't shed a tear
I won't even shed a single tear


Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you stand by me, I won't falter


And darling, darling stand by me
My dear, my dear, be by my side


Oh stand by me
Oh, stand by me


Stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stay with me


Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
If you need help, won't you stand by me


Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, right now, now, please stand by me


Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Oh, be with me, stay with me, stand by me


Darling, darling stand by me
My dear, my dear stand by me


Stand by me
Stand by me


Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Oh, be with me, stay with me, stand by me

Speeding up the bass makes all the difference. I do this song live pretty often. I might start doing it this way.
