Guardian Angel
Embrace of a Guardian: Alphaville's Melody of Comfort
Lyrics
Be my guard just for tonight, that is all I'm asking for
Seeking protection for the night and asking someone to be a guardian.
Take me under your wing, I can't make it anymore
Expressing inability to cope and requesting support.
I am so full of fear, may you read a book to me
Feeling fearful and asking for comfort through storytelling.
And when the shadows grow, won't you stay with me
Requesting companionship when darkness and challenges arise.
Will you be my guard tonight, that is all I'm asking for
Reiterating the plea for protection for the night.
Will you be my guard tonight, that is all I need to know
Emphasizing the simplicity of the request for a guardian.
Be my guard beside my bed, that is all I need to know
Asking for presence and protection at the bedside.
Will you please hold my hand, don't you ever let it go
Seeking physical reassurance and connection through hand-holding.
All the wonders of the world
Reflecting on the marvels of the world.
For a little second more
Desiring a brief extension of time to appreciate those wonders.
I can't speak but can't you see
Expressing speechlessness but hoping for understanding.
It's your touch I'm crying for
Identifying the source of emotional need as the other person's touch.
Will you be my guard tonight, that is all I'm asking for
Repeating the plea for a guardian for the night.
Will you be my guard tonight, that is all I need to know
Stressing the simplicity of the need to know if protection is granted.
Be my guard just until dawn
Extending the request for guardianship until dawn.
When I can hear the birds again
Anticipating a new day and the return of positivity.
I'm as helpless as can be
Acknowledging vulnerability and helplessness.
Will you guard my little flame
Asking to safeguard a metaphorical flame, possibly representing hope or love.
If we never meet again
Contemplating the possibility of not meeting again.
You shall always keep in mind
Requesting the other person to remember the role of being a guardian.
That you were my guard tonight
Affirming that the person was the guardian for the night.
That you were my guard tonight
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the person being a guardian.
Will you be my guard tonight
Final plea for guardianship for the night.
