Lyrics
When the night has come
Expressing a moment when the night arrives.
And the land is dark
Describing a darkened environment.
And the moon is the only light we'll see
Highlighting the moon as the sole source of light.
No, I won't be afraid
Declaring a resolution not to succumb to fear.
Oh, I won't be afraid
Reaffirming the commitment not to be afraid.
Just as long as you stand
Stating that as long as someone stands by, fear is overcome.
Stand by me
Emphasizing the importance of someone standing by.
So darlin', darlin'
Addressing a loved one affectionately.
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Urging the loved one to stand by.
Oh, stand, stand by me
Repetition of the plea for standing by.
Stand by me
Reiterating the importance of standing by.
So darlin', darlin'
Repeating the affectionate address to a loved one.
If the sky where we look upon
Imagining a scenario where the sky is falling.
Should tumble and fall
Describing a potential catastrophic event with the sky falling.
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
Envisioning the collapse of mountains into the sea.
I won't cry, I won't cry
Declaring a commitment not to cry in the face of adversity.
No, I won't shed a tear
Affirming a determination not to shed tears.
Just as long as you stand
Reassuring that standing together will overcome adversity.
Stand by me
Reemphasizing the importance of standing by.
And darlin', darlin'
Continuing the affectionate address to a loved one.
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Reiterating the plea for the loved one to stand by.
Oh, stand, stand by me
Repetition of the plea for standing by.
Stand by me
Emphasizing the importance of someone standing by.
Darlin', darlin'
Continuing the affectionate address to a loved one.
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Urging the loved one to stand by.
Oh, stand, stand by me
Repetition of the plea for standing by.
Stand by me
Reiterating the importance of standing by.
