BEN E. KING - STAND BY ME
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.
Chorus:
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
Oh, stand by me.
Oh, stand, stand by me,
Stand by me.
If the sea that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain 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.
