On Standby

On standby Watching over you Under the chilly blue sky Not too far from the crew Who was about to bury A special daddy I was on standby Ready to protect you Ready to die For your sorrow Standing on the last row Where you were hugged By your girlfriend I was ready to lend a hand In case a satanic thug Unashamedly decided to take you Too the precipice. Death is like that Sometimes, she comes like a deadly bat That's unafraid to screw or to sue I was on standby Ready to protect you From any hazard. It's sad to cry God creates tears to rescue The heart in time of sorrow For a better tomorrow Out of danger, I walked away Like a guardian angel Later on, on your way To the chapel I kissed your forehead Blew you a kiss For love, good health and peace And move ahead To think about you And to dream of you By the way I am out of your way Yet, I am still on standby Love makes me cry All the time, my queen I am in love, I am clean Love brings sadness Love brings happiness Love is truly crazy Goodbye, goodbye I am still on standby.
