GUARDS  AT  THE  GATE  OF  MY  HEART
© Words and Music: 
Ande Rasmussen/ Donna Aylor / Mark Oates  

Built a wall around my heart when love said good-bye
I told the guards not to let a soul get inside
I felt secure never imagined anyone could break through
Falling in love was the last thing I wanted to do

CHORUS:
HOW DID YOU GET BY 
HOW DID YOU SLIP IN
EVADING MY SENSES   
NOW I’M IN LOVE AGAIN  
I AM DEFENSELESS
CAN’T RESIST YOUR CHARMS
TELL ME HOW YOU GOT BY
ALL THE GUARDS  
AT THE GATE OF MY HEART 

You loved me til everything that hurt fell away 
I set the guards free and now you keep me safe
I’m looking forward to forever and I want to start now
I have you to watch over me but tell me how 

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:  
Did you climb over        
Did you crawl under	
I’m glad you came in 	
Yet still I wonder  
REPEAT CHORUS 
TELL ME HOW YOU GOT BY
ALL THE GUARDS
AT THE GATE OF MY HEART
