Stand By Me

Artist: Ben E King
Songwriter: Ben King, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, 1962

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
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 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

And darlin’, darlin’, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me

And 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
Won’t you stand by
