This song is about promising to stand by someone no matter what difficulties may come, such as the night being dark, the moon being the only light, the sky and mountains crumbling. The singer promises not to be afraid and not to cry as long as their loved one stands by them during these hard times. They ask their darling to stand by them whenever they are in trouble.

And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we'll see No, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand, stand by me And, darling, darling stand by me, oh now now Stand by me Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall And the mountains should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And, darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me? Oh, now, now, stand by me Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
