Your Bodyguard

time is ticking, days are passing, years are adding,

lines are showing, body’s slowing, often feel like napping,

no regrets, no what if’s, not time now to wallow,

on my failures, some were deep, some were hard to swallow,

some friends gone, some remain, some are very new,

when times are hard, when I reach out, I always reach for you,

Summer days, Winter nights, cold wind or warm breeze,

we’ll cuddle up, have some wine, as we sail the seas,

about the kids, oh well what’s new, they hardly stay in touch,

but come what may, thought far away ,we still love them so much,

and in a crowd, or on my own, you’re with me in my heart,

in times of trouble, in times of pain, I know we’ll never part,

and if by chance you meet some danger, if you’re caught off guard,

call on me, remember, I’ll always be your bodyguard
