When the night [bad word] 
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 

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me 
Stand by me, stand by me 

If the sky that we look upon 
Should tumble and fall 
And the mountains 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 
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah 

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me 
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me 

Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me 
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
