"'Your Guardian Angel'" is a song 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. "Your Guardian Angel" was released to radio on August 7, 2007. 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, Alabama. The song was even the school's prom theme that year.
The album version has 90 seconds of silence at the end, which leads into the unlisted 12th track; "The Grim Goodbye".
