Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the night has come and the land is dark
And the moon is the only, only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no no no no no no, I won't be afraid
Just as long, just as long, just as long as you stand by me
[Verse 2]
Now darling, darling
Whenever I'm in trouble darling, won't you stand
I need just a little helping hand right now, now, now
And darling, darling, won't you stand by me?
[Verse 3]
If the sky we look upon now now, should tumble and fall
All of the mountains may crumble, may crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no no no no no, I won't shed no tears
Just as long, just as long, just as long as you stand by me
[Verse 4]
Now darling, darling
I said I need somebody right now
I need just a little helping hand right now
I need someone to come pick me up and let you stand by me
[Verse 5]
Come on, come on now baby
Yeah, my my my my baby, whoa
Come on, come on
And stand by me
[Verse 6]
And darling, darling, stand by me
Come on pretty babe, stand now, stand-stand by me
Come on and help me baby, I need a little loving
Come on and stand right by me
[Verse 7]
Whenever I'm in trouble, won't you stand
Come on and stand by me
My my my my baby, come on, I need a little bit of loving
I need someone to come on and...
