Lyrics

When the night that we look has come

and the land ble is dark

and the moon tains

is the on ble ly light to we see,

oh, I won’t

be a fraid, no I won’t won’t

be a fraid

just as long

as you stand,

stand by me.

So dar ling, dar ling, stand

by me,

stand by me,

oh, stand

stand by me.

If the sky that we look up on

and should tum ble and fall

and the moun tains

is should crum ble ly in to the sea,

I won’t cry,

I won’t cry, no I won’t won’t

shed a tear

just as long

as you stand,

stand by me.

So dar ling, dar ling, stand

by me,

stand by me,

oh, stand

stand by me.

If the me.
