G D Em C G D G D

G D Em C
the lamp is burnin’ low upon my table top ,
G D G D
the snow is softly falling
G D Em C
the air is still within the silence of my room ,
G D G
i hear your voice softly calling
D C D
if i could only have you near ,
Bm Em Am D
to breathe a sigh or two
G D Em C
i would be happy just to hold the hands i love ,
G D G
upon this winter night with you

G D Em C G D G D

G D Em C
the smoke is rising in the shadows overhead ,
G D G D
my glass is almost empty
G D Em C
i read again between the lines upon each page ,
G D G
the words of love you sent me
D C D
if i could know within my heart ,
Bm Em Am D
that you were lonely too
G D Em C
i would be happy just to hold the hands i love ,
G D G
upon this winter night with you

G D Em C G D G D

G D Em C
the fire is dying now , my lamp is growing dim ,
G D G D
the shades of night are liftin’
G D Em C
the morning light steals across my windowpane ,
G D G
where webs of snow are driftin’
D C D
if i could only have you near ,
Bm Em Am D
to breathe a sigh or two
G D Em C
i would be happy just to hold the hands i love ,
G D B7 Em
upon this winter night with you ,
G D G
and to be once again with you

G D Em C G D G D
