This song says, no matter who you are
No matter where you go in your life
At some point you're going to need
Somebody to stand by you

Oh yeah! Oh my darlin' stand by me!
No matter who your are
No matter where you go in life
You gon' need somebody, to stand by you

No matter how much money you got
Or the friends you got
You gon' need somebody
To stand by you

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And that moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't, shed one tear
Just as long as you people, call and stand by me

Oh, darling, darling
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, stand, stand by me
C'mon, stand by me

When the sky that we look upon
When should tumble and fall
Or the mountains they 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

Oh, please, stand, stand by me, stand by me
Oh, darling, darling stand by me, oh, stand by me
Please, stand, stand by me, stand by me
Oh, baby, baby
Oh, darlin', darlin', stand la la nomie

Ooh, stand la la nomie
Oh, stand, oh, stand, stand
Stand by me c'mon stand by me, stand by me
Stand la la nomie, oh won't you stand, la la nomie
Oh, stand la la nomie, stand by me, c'mon, stand by me

When the night has come, and the way is dark
And the moon, is the only light you see
I won't be afraid, lala nomie, I won't be afraid
Not as long, not as long as you stand by me
