Lyrics Otis Redding

Otis Redding

Stand by Me

When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the moon is the only

Only light we see

No, I won't be afraid

No, 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

Darling, won't you stand

I need just a little helping hand

Now, 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

Need someone to come pick me up

And let you stand by me

Come on, come on, now, baby, yeah

Baby, 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

Whenever I'm in trouble

Won't you stand

Come on and stand by me, my baby

Come on, I need a little bit of love
