Stand by Me

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Oh darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me

If the sky we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains 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 darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me

Oh Darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me


Songwriters: Ben King / Jerry Leiber / Mike Stoller
In 1960, Ben E. King was inspired to update the early 20th century gospel hymn by Charles Albert Tindley, which was based around the psalm, "will not we fear, though the Earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea."[4]
