I'm coming up with a way to keep you calm throughout the night,
D E A***
I'm hoping I could be everything you ever need and I will never leave you.

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, ohohohoh, stand by me,

oh, stand, oh, won't you stand, stand by me.

A F#m
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall

and the mountains should crumble to the sea.
N.C.
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear,
N.C.
just as long as you stand, stand by me.
[End-Chorus] (Start full Beat in Swing, Triplets)
