[Intro]
Ah, yeah
[Verse 1]
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
I won't cry, I won't cry
I-I-I won't shed one tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me, now
[Chorus]
Darlin', darlin', won't you stand by me?
Whoa, stand by me
Oh, stand, now yeah
Stand by me, now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Dearest people of the world
Ev'ry boy, woman, man and little girl
Let's start to love one another
Let's start today
Let's love each other, my, my, my
Like sisters and brothers
Then we will stand together (Hey) come what may
United we will stand
Divided we shall fall
So if my words are comin' into your homes
Or into your hearts, on the streets
Let's all unite and work together (Stand by me, baby)
And love one another
[Chorus]
Darlin', darlin', won't you stand by me?
Whoa, stand by me
Whoa, stand, now yeah
Stand by me, now
[Verse 2]
If the sky we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains, yeah, should crumble to the sea
No, I won't be afraid
I-I-I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me, now
[Chorus]
Ever I'm in trouble
Won't you stand by me?
Whoa, stand by me
Whoa, stand now, yeah, stand by me, now
