Intro :
The r ain beats hard at my w indow
While y ou so softly do sl eep
And y ou can't hear the cold w ind blow
Y ou are sleeping so deep
Outsi de its dark the moon h iding
By st arlight only I s ee
The ho sts of the night-time go r iding
But y ou are safe here wi th me
So wh ile the world out there is s leeping
And ev eryone wrapped up so t ight
Oh I am a vigil here ke eping
O n this stormy ni ght
I pro mised I always would lo ve you
If sk ies would be grey or be b lue
I wh isper the prayer now a bove you
That t here will always be y ou
Somet imes we're just like the w eather
Ch anging by day after d ay
As l ong as we'll be togeth er
S torms will pass a way
I s aid I would guard and prot ect you
K eep you free from all h arm
And i f life should ever reje ct you
That l ove would weather each st orm
So wh ile the world out there is s leeping
And ev eryone wrapped up so t ight
Oh I am a vigil here ke eping
O n this stormy ni ght
I pro mised I always would lo ve you
If sk ies would be grey or be b lue
I wh isper the prayer now a bove you
That t here will always be y ou
S oon I know you'll be w aking
A sk did I sleep- did I w rite?
And I 'll just say I was m aking
A so ng... for a st ormy nig ht.
