When the night has come
Oh yes and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
I won't cry I won't cry
No I won't she'd a tear
Not as long
Not as long as you
Stand by me
Sometimes I sit down and I wonder
I sit down and I wonder baby
I wonder if you love me
Do you love me like you say you do?
You know further man
Jackie Wilson might say
Pu-lease don't go
Jackie Wilson might say
Pu-leeeeeeeeeease
Oh yeah oh my darlin'
Won't you stand by me?
David Ruffin of the Temptations might say
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day yeah
When it's cold outside
I've even got the month of May
Billy Stewart might say
A-baby a-baby a-baby
A-won't you tell me a-tell me a-tell me
A-hope you tell me now my darlin'
I said a-right now
Oh yeah oh my darlin'
Won't you stand by me?
Smokey Robinson of the Miracles might say
I will build you a castle with a tower so high
It reaches the moon
I'll gather melodies from birds that fly
Chuck Jackson might say
Any day now
Don't fly away my beautiful bird
Baby baby baby
Oh my darlin' won't you stand by me?
My name is Spyder turner
And I'll get down on my knees
And say
Darlin' don't go
You know that I need your love so doggone bad
Oh yeah come on girl and stand by me
Whenever I'm in trouble
Won't you stand
