| 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 it’s dark, the moon hiding
|
| By starlight only I see
|
| The host 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 this 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 this 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 |
