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.
