Song For A Winter's Night
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.
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.
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.
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.
The fire's dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are lifting.
The morning light steals across my window pane
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.
Out of your arms for three hours tops, and I miss you already.
Be well, my love.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The fire's dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are lifting.
The morning light steals across my window pane
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.
Out of your arms for three hours tops, and I miss you already.
Be well, my love.
