Stand By Me
The Rocker Covers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to The Rocker Covers' "Stand By Me" are a powerful testament of love and support. The song speaks of the fear and darkness that can come with the night, but assures the listener that they need not be afraid as long as they have someone standing by their side. The idea is that the presence of a loved one is enough to provide light in the darkest of moments. The verse "And if the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall, and the mountain should crumble to the sea" refers to the idea that even if the world around us falls apart, the love and support of a companion will remain constant.
The chorus, which repeats "Stand by me," is a call to action, asking the listener's loved one to remain steadfast and supportive. The repetition of the phrase solidifies the importance of having someone by our side through life's ups and downs. The lyrics are simple yet profound, expressing the fundamental human need for support and companionship in times of trouble.

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.
