"Your Guardian Angel" is a single by the band The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. There are two different versions - a mostly acoustic version found on their first major-label album, Don't You Fake It, and a completely acoustic version (title "The Acoustic Song") on their demo album. It is the third single released by the band, with the video released on October 15, 2007. It was featured in the season finale of the CBS show Moonlight titled "Mortal Cure". According to Ronnie Winter, the song is dedicated to the eight students that lost their lives in the March 1, 2007 Tornado that destroyed a high school in Enterprise, AL.
The album version has 90 seconds of silence at the end, which leads into the unlisted 12th track; "The Grim Goodbye".
[edit]Music video
The music video for "Your Guardian Angel" shows Ronnie Winter turning on many lightbulbs, and singing the song in a closet with one light bulb, then he plays and sings while the band is preparing for a concert. They perform in front of the crowd of fans with flashy light effects during the distortion part. Winter turns off the lightbulb at the end of the song. The video was directed by Shane Drake who has done work for other bands such as Panic! At The Disco and Paramore.

THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS LYRICS"Your Guardian Angel"When I see your smileTears roll down my face I can't replace And now that I'm strong I have figured out How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one I will never let you fall (let you fall) I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all (through it all) Even if saving you sends me to heaven It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Seasons are changing And waves are crashing And stars are falling all for us Days grow longer and nights grow shorter I can show you I'll be the one I will never let you fall (let you fall) I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all (through it all) Even if saving you sends me to heaven Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart Please don't throw that away Cuz I'm here for you Please don't walk away and Please tell me you'll stay woah, stay woah Use me as you will Pull my strings just for a thrill And I know I'll be okay Though my skies are turning gray I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all Even if saving you sends me to heaven [to fade] | ||||||||||||||||||||
