[INTRO]

G D Em C G D G D

[VERSE 1]

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

[CHORUS]

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

[VERSE 2]

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

[CHORUS]

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

[VERSE 3]

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'

[CHORUS]
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,
C D G
And to be once again with you

G D Em C G D G D
