When the night has come and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darling
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
'Cause I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
And I'll help you carry on
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, won't you stand, stand by me
I'll be there for you
(When you're not strong)
I'll be there for you
(Time after time)
I'm gonna need
Someone there for me too
