Be my guard just for tonight, that is all I'm asking for
Take me under your wing, I can't make it anymore
I am so full of fear, may you read a book to me
And when the shadows grow won't you stay with me
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT THAT IS ALL I'M ASKING FOR
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT, THAT IS ALL I NEED TO KNOW
Be my guard beside my bed, that is all I need to know
Will you please hold my hand, don't you ever let it go
All the wonders of the world for a little second more
I can't speak but can't you see, it's your touch I'm crying for
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT THAT IS ALL I'M ASKING FOR
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT, THAT IS ALL I NEED TO KNOW
Be my guard just until dawn, when I can hear the birds again
I'm as helpless as can be, will you guard my little flame
If we never meet again, you shall always keep in mind
That you were my guard tonight, that you were my guard tonight
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT
