(reggae)

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 WANT BE AFRAID
JUST AS LONG, AS YOU STAND,
STAND BY ME

SO DARLING, DARLING STAND BY ME
WHOA STAND BY ME
WHOA STAND STAND BY ME STAND ME

IF THE SKY THAT 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

WHENEVER YOU'RE IN TROUBLE WON'T YOU STAND BY ME
WHOA! STAND BY ME
WHOA! STAND, STAND BY,
ME STAND BY ME
