Lyrics:

(KING/LEIBER/STOLLER)

PERFORMED BY JOHN LENNON (1975)


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
AND DARLING DARLING STAND BY ME
OH STAND BY ME
STAND BY ME, STAND BY ME
IF THE SKY
THAT WE LOOK UPON
SHOULD TUMBLE AND FALL
AND THE MOUNTAINS
SHOULD CRUMBLE
TO THE SEA
I WON'T CRY, I WON'T CRY
NO I WON'T SHARE A TEAR
JUST AS LONG
AS YOU STAND, STAND BY ME
AND DARLING DARLING STAND BY ME
OH STAND BY ME
STAND BY ME, STAND BY ME, STAND BY ME
WHENEVER YOUR IN TROUBLE
WON'T YOU STAND BY ME
OH STAND BY ME, STAND BY ME, STAND BY ME
AND DARLING DARLING STAND BY ME
OH STAND BY ME
STAND BY ME, STAND BY ME, STAND BY ME
