Stand Your Guard

Oh darlin', hold on
Take it another step further along
Rest assured when your life is through
You gave your heart all its due
Right now, it seems so far away
But I could never stop believing
The hope within me is alive today
I’ll stick around, I ain’t leavin'
I know it’s hard to be misunderstood
And I’m glad you read between the lines
I’ve tried to be the best friend that I could
Ain’t no more cause for passin' time, oh
Oh darlin', hold on
Take it another step further along
Rest assured when your life is through
You gave your heart all its due
Maybe I ain’t got the golden touch
The kind that’s music to your ear
What gain would I have not much?
Just for words you wanna hear
Keep your distance now and stand your guard
Though I never meant to threaten you
You’ve played your hand and I’ve seen your cards
What happens now is up to you, oh
Oh darlin', hold on
Take it another step further along
Rest assured when your life is through
You gave your heart all its due
Oh darlin', hold on
Take it another step further along
Rest assured when your life is through
You gave your heart all its due
Oh darlin', hold on
Take it another step further along
Rest assured when your life is through
You gave your heart all its due
