A Winter's Tale

[Verses 1] The nights are colder now Maybe I should close the door And anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps And I can follow you no more The fire still burns at night My memories are warm and clear But everybody knows it's hard to be alone at this time of year [Chorus] It was only a winter's tale Just another winter's tale And why should the world take notice Of one more love that's failed? A love that could never be Though it meant a lot to you and me On a world-wide scale we're just another winter's tale [Verses 2] While I stand alone A bell is ringing far away I wonder if you hear, I wonder if you're listening I wonder where you are today Good luck, I wish you well For all that wishes may be worth I hope that love and strength Are with you for the length of your time on Earth [Chorus] It was only a winter's tale Just another winter's tale And why should the world take notice Of one more love that's failed? It's a love that could never be Though it meant a lot to you and me On a world-wide scale we're just another winter's tale It was only a winter's tale Just another winter's tale And why should the world take notice Of one more love that's failed? It's a love that could never be Though it meant a lot to you and me On a world-wide scale we're just another winter's tale
