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
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.
