This song says that no matter what happens, everything's alright if you're with the person you love.

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, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

When the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me...

I want to say hello to all the folks in England
How you doing folks?
Well, here I am in New York singing to you.

Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
