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
Would 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

That is all I'm asking for
That is all I need to know
That is all I'm asking for

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
That is all I'm asking for
Will you be my guard tonight
That is all I need to know

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

That is all I need to know
That is all I need to know
That is all I need to know
