Ben E. KingStand by Me Lyrics:
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
So darling, darling,
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 mountains
should crumble in
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
So darling, darling,
stand by me,
oh, stand by me
oh, stand,
stand by me
stand by me
