Ok...I get that it's technically not from a musical, but Baby Mine from Dumbo is one of my favorites and I put it on a CD for my niece when she was born.
aahhh Baby Mine induces ferocious sobbing from me. Just thinking about it is making me sad. DUMBO YOUR MOMMY LOVES YOU IT'S NOT FAIR IT'S NOT FAIR!!! *dies*
"You Walk With Me" from The Full Monty is also
somewhat appropriate.

Friendship from "Anything Goes"
Sabbath Prayer from "Fiddler on the Roof"
Soliloquy and You'll Never Walk Alone from "Carousel"
"There's Me" from Starlight Express
"Not While I'm Around" - Sweeney Todd
Edit: Just saw it in the first post.
There is, in my book, only one song about protecting someone. Anytime (I am There) from William Finn's Elegies. It is just so perfect.
"Anytime you laugh,
Anytime you cry.
Anytime, you hear a sound.
When your on the grass,
Lying on the ground.
Anytime you wash your hands I'll be around.
Im out there on the baseball field,
Though I'm well concealed,
I'll be out there cheering.
I am there in the books you read,
It is guarenteed...
I'm not dissapearing fast."
"Id Give My Life For You"-Miss Saigon
Also, what is "Someone to Fall Back On" from.
It's on JRB's solo CD: WEARING SOMEONE ELSE'S CLOTHES
Josh Young also sang it on his solo album.
