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