No, I won't be afraid,
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long, Just as long as you stand by me.

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea,

I won't cry, I won't cry,
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long, Just as long as you stand by me.

Oh! stand, oh darling won't you stand now
Stand by me.

When all your friends they have gone
You just stand by me
Oh darling, won't you stand now, stand by me.

When ever you're in trouble
You just stand, ohh stand.
Won't you stand, won't you stand, won't you stand....

Stand by me...
