Stand by Me Songtext
von Otis Redding

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only
Only light we′ve see

No, I won't be afraid
No, no, no, no, no, no, I won′t be afraid
Just as long, just as long
Just as long as you stand by me

Now darling, darling

Whenever I'm in trouble, my darling
Won't you stand?
I need just a little helping hand right now, now
And darling, darling, won′t you stand by me?

If the sky we look upon now, now
Should tumble and fall
All of the mountains may crumble
May crumble to the sea


I won′t cry, I won't cry
No, no, no, no, no, I won′t shed no tears
Just as long, just as long
Just as long as you stand by me

Now darling, darling

I said I need somebody right now
I need just a little helping hand
I need someone to come pick me up
And later stand by me

Come on, come on now, baby, yeah
My, my, my, my baby, woah-woah
Come on, come on and stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Come on, pretty baby, and stand now
Stand, stand by me
Come on and help me, baby
I need a little lovin', come on and stand, stand by me


When, whenever I′m in trouble
Won't you stand?
Come on and stand by me
My, my, my, my baby
Come on, I need a little bit of love
I need someone to come on
And, darling, just stand by me
