Stand By Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And, darling, darling, stand by me
Oh now now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

[Verse 2]
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble 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


[Chorus]
And darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
