 Intro
When  the night, has come.  And the land is dark.
 And the moon,  is the only  light we'll see.
 Oh I won't,  be afriad, no I  won't be afriad
 just as long  as you stand,  stand by me.
 So darlin' darlin' stand  by me. Oh stand  by me.
 Oh stand,  stand  by, stand by me.
 If 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
 Repeat chorus until fade.
