Lyrics Stand by Me - Jimmy Ruffin

When the night (When the night)
Has come (Mmm)
When the land is so dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see, my brother
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid (Mmm)
Just as long as you stand by me

Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand by me (Stand by me)
Mmm-hmm, uh-huh, stand by me (Stand by me, stand by me)

Oh, if the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble down to the sea, oh yeah
I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry, no
No, I won't, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand by me
Don't you worry

Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand by me (Mmm-hmm, stand by me)
Yeah, yeah, mmm-hmm, yeah (Stand by me)

Baby, stand by my side (Stand by me)
Every once in a while, I might need a ride
Oh, come on and stand (Stand by me)
Look-a here, mmm (Stand by me)
If you're ever in trouble (Stand by me)
Tell me, just look over your shoulder (Stand by me)
I'll be standing there (Oh yeah, ooh)
You're gonna find me (Standin')
Standing (Standing right here by your side)
Standing right there (Stand by me)
Don't you worry

Stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Ooh (Come on, come on, come on)
Stand, stand by me (Stand by me)
Ooh (Stand by me)
Stand by me (Stand by me)
Oh, stand and stand by me (Stand by me)
When the night has come (Stand by me)
And I need you (Stand by me)
Stand by me (Stand by me)
Stand by me (Stand by me)
Stand by me (Stand by me)
Stand by me (Stand by me)
Oh, stand by me (Stand by me)
Ooh (Stand by me)
Stand by me (Stand by me)
