Lyrics
When the night, has come
And the land is dark And the moon, is the only, light we’ll seeNo I won’t, be afraid
No I won’t, be afraid Just as long, as you stand, stand by meSo darlin’, darlin’ stand, by me
Oh-oh stand by me Oh stand, 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-no-no I won’t shed a tear Just as long, as you stand, by meAnd darlin’, darlin’ stand, by me
Oh-oh-oh, stand, by me Oh darling, stand by me, stand by me, stand by meWhoa-oh-oh, ay-ay
Ma-ma-my, my-eeIf the mountains should crumble to the sea
Ma-ma-my-my-my
When the night, has come
And, and the land is dark And the moon, is the only, only light we’ll seeSo darlin’, darlin’ stand, by me, oh-oh stand by me
Oh darling, stand by me, stand by me Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand, by me Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by meSo darlin’, darlin’, stand, oh-oh, oo-oo, oh-oh
As long as I know I got you right here Right here by my side Come on, come on, stand, stand right here
