When the night [bad word]  and the land is dark 
And the moon is the only light we will see 
No, I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid 
Just as long as you stand, stand by me 
So darlin', darlin' stand by me 
Oh stand by me 
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me 

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall 
Or the mountain should [bad word] 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 
And darlin', darlin' stand by me 
Oh stand by me 
Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me 
*Solo* 

And darlin', darlin' stand by me 
Oh stand by me 
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me 

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall 
Or the mountain should [bad word] 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 
And darlin', darlin' stand by me 
Oh stand by me 
Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me 
So darlin', darlin' stand by me 
Oh stand by me 
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me 
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me 
Oh stand by me 
Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me...
