Gordon Lightfoot
Song for a Winter’s Night
[Verse 1]
The lamp is burning low upon my table top
The snow is softly falling
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly calling

[Chorus]
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
Oh and I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter's night with you

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
Oh and I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter's night with you

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
Oh and I, I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
To be once again with ​you
Oh, on this winter's night with you
On this winter's night with you (Oh)
