Song For A Winter's Night
The lamp is burning low upon my tabletop
the snow is softly falling.
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly calling
If I could only have you near to breathe a sigh or two,
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
on this winter night with you.
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
my glass is almost empty.
I read again between the lines upon the page
the words of love you sent me.
If I could know within my heart that you were lonely too,
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
on this winter night with you.
The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim,
the shades of night are lifting.
The morning light steals across my windowpane
where webs of snow are drifting.
If I could only have you near to breathe a sigh or two,
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
on this winter night with you
on this winter night with you
