Lullaby For A Stormy Night

==

Capo 4

[G]Little child, [D]be not afraid
The [C]rain ponds harshly [G]against the glass
Like an [Em]unwanted stranger
[D]There is no danger
[C]I'm here tonight [D] [G]Little child. [D]be not afraid
Though [C]thunder explodes
And [G]lighting flash
[Em]Illuminates your [D]tearstained face
[C]I'm here tonight [D]

And someday you'll [G]know
That nature is [C]so
This same [Em]rain that draws you near [D]me
Falls on rivers and [G]land
On forests and [C]sand
Makes the [Em]beautiful world that you'll [D]see
In the [C]moming [G][D] [G]Little child. [D]be not afraid
The [C]storm clouds mask your [G]beloved moon
And its [Em]candelight beams
[D]Still keep pleasant dreams
[C]I'm here tonight [D] [G]Little child, [D]be not afraid
Though [C]wind makes creastures of [G]our trees
And their [Em]branches to hands
They're not [D]real, understand
[C]I'm here tonight [D]

And someday you'll [G]know
That nature is [C]so
This same [Em]rain that draws you near [D]me
Falls on rivers and [G]land
On forests and [C]sand
Makes the [Em]beautiful world that you'll [D]see
In the [C]moming [G][D] [C]For you know, once even [D]I
Was a [G]little child
And [D]I was afraid
But a [C]gentle someone [G]always came
To [Em]dry all my tears
Trade [D]sweet sleep for fears
And to [C]give a kiss goodnight [D]

Well, now i am [G]grown
And these years have [C]shown
That rain's a [Em]part of how life [D]goes
But it's dark and it's [G]late
So I'll hold you and [C]wait
Til' your [Em]frightened eyes do [D]close

And I hope that you'll [G]know
That nature is [C]so
This same [Em]rain that draws you near [D]me
Falls on rivers and [G]land
On forests and [C]sand
Makes the [Em]beautiful world that you'll [D]see
In the [C]moming [G][D] [G]Everything's fine in the [C]moming
The [G]rain will be gone in the [Em]moming
But [D]I'll still be here in the [G]moming
