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
