And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see

Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Oh, stand
Stand by me, stand by me
Post-Chorus 1

Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea

No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Chorus 2

And darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Woah, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me
