David Ruffin & Jimmy Ruffin – Stand By Me lyrics

David: When the night (When the night) has come
Jimmy: Hmmm
David: And the land is so dark, and the moon is the only light we'll see, my brother.

Both: No I won't
David: Be afraid
Jimmy: No I won't
David: Be afraid

Jimmy: Mmmm
Both: Just as long
David: As you stand by me.

Jimmy: Oh stand
David: By me
Both: Oh stand
Jimmy: By me
David: By me.

Both: Mmmm, hmmm uh, huh, stand by me.
Jimmy: Oh, if the sky that we look upon should crumble and fall
David: Or the mountains crumble down to the sea, oh yeah.

Both: I won't cry
Jimmy: I won't cry
David: No, I won't, I won't she'd a tear

Every once in awhile I might need a ride.
