Lyrics:
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 I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh oh
oh stand by me
Oh Stand, stand by me, 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 no no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh oh oh stand by me
Oh darling, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
