Song for a Winter’s Night

The lamp is burning low upon my tabletop
The snow is softly falling
The air is still in the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly calling
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 night with you
The smoke is rising and the shadows over it
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon the page
The words of love he sent me
If I could know what it my heart
That you would only do
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter night with you
The fire is dying now my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are lifted
The morning light steals across my window paine
Where webs of snow are drifting
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with you
To be once again with you
