song for a stormy night

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.
