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?
Chorus:
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.
Chorus
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.
Chorus (x2)
That is all i need to know!
That is all I need to know!
That is all I need to know!
