The [Em] rain beats hard at [Bm] my window
While [C] you, so softly [G] do sleep
And [Am] you can’t hear the cold [Em] wind blow
[Am] You are sleeping [Bm] so deep
Outside [Em] its dark, the [Bm] moon hiding
By [C] starlight only [G] I see
The [Am] hosts of the night-time [Em] go riding
But [Am] you are safe here [D] with me
Chorus
So, [G] while the world out there [Bm] is sleeping
And [C] everyone wrapped [G] up so tight
Oh, [Am] I am a vigil here [Em] keeping
[F] On this [D] stormy night
I [G] promised I always would [Bm] love you
If [C] skies would be grey or [Em] be blue
I [Am] whisper the prayer now [Em] above you
That [Am] there will always [Bm] be you
Sometimes [Em] , we're just [Bm] like the weather
[C] Changing by day [G] after day
As [Am] long as we'll be [Em] together
[A] Storms will pass [Bm] away
I [Em] said I would guard and [Bm] protect you
[C] Keep you free from [G] all harm
And [Am] if life should ever [Em] reject you
That [Am] love would weather [D] each storm
(Back to Chorus)
(Short Break)
[Em] Soon, I know you'll [Bm] be waking,
[C] Ask did I sleep- did [G] I write?
And [Am] I'll just say I was [Em] making
A [Am] song... for a [Bm] stormy [Em] night.
