When the night has come and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid (I won't be afraid)
No I won't be afraid (I won't be afraid)
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
So darling darling
Stand by me (stand, stand by me)
Oh stand by me (stand, stand by me)
Oh stand, stand by me (ooh)
Stand by me (stand by me)
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
(tumble and fall, tumble and fall)
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry (no)
No I won't shed a tear (no)
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
So darling darling
Stand by me (stand, stand by me)
Oh stand by me (stand, stand by me)
Oh stand, stand by me (ooh)
Stand by me (stand by me)
Stand by me
Ooh
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand (help me make a
stand)
You've just got to see me through another day (another
day)
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way, oh yeah
I've seen fire and I've seen rain (I've seen fire and
I've seen rain)
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
(days I thought would never end)
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you
Just one more time again
Sometimes in my life
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Just call on me, brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
'Cause I just might have a problem
That you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
We all need somebody to lean on
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me (yeah)
When you're not strong (not strong)
And I'll be your friend (I'll be your friend)
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
No it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
