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