[Verse 1]
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, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I won't be afraid
Not as long, not as long, as you stand by me
[Chorus]
Sometimes I sit down and I wonder
I sit down and I wonder, baby
I wonder, if you love me
Do you love me, like you say you do?
[Verse 2]
But if you would just hold my hand
Let me know, let me know, let me know that you understand
I would understand that everything
Everything is gonna be alright
[Chorus]
And darling, darling, darling, darling
And stand, stand by me
I need your shoulder, your shoulder to cry on
I need somebody, somebody, to stand by me
[Verse 3]
So if the sky that we look upon
Should tumble or fall
Or the mountains should tumble on the sea
I won't cry, I won’t cry
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I won't shed no tears
Not as long, not as long, as you stand by me
[Chorus]
And darling, darling, darling, darling
Stand, stand by me, baby
I need your loving shoulder to cry on
