Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The lamp is burning low upon my table top
The snow is softly falling
The air is still, in the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly calling
[Verse 2]
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's night with you
[Verse 3]
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again, between the lines upon each page
The words of love you send me
[Verse 4]
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's night with you
[Verse 5]
The fire is dying, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are lifting
The morning light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are drifting
[Verse 6]
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's night with you
And to be once again with you
