"Stand By Me" lyrics

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, stand by me baby
Oh, darling
Stand by me, stand by me

When 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 baby

And darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me baby
Oh, darling
Stand by me, stand by me

I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry
No, no, no, no, no
Just as long baby, as you stand, stand by me baby

You know you're talking about the Rebel King
The street corner poet
Searchin' for truth
Everybody's gonna let you down sometime
You're only human
But I'm glad God gave me you
Ah, there's a sweet surrender
I found one thing
When I'm down to nothing
God's up to something

Oh, stand by me, yeah
Stand by me baby
Oh, stand by me, stand by me
Oh, I won't cry, I won't shed a tear
I'm talkin' about the true love
Stand by me baby
Stand by me
