Be my guard just for tonight
That is all I’m asking for
Take me under your wing
I can’t take 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…

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…
