[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 in the silence of my room,
G           D            G
I hear your voice softly calling.

[Refrain]
           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   D
on this winter's night with you.

[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 the page,
G            D        G
The words of love you sent me.

[Refrain]
           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    D
On this winter's night with you.

[Verse 3]
    G       D           Em              C
The fire is dying... My lamp is growing dim
G             D         G       D
The shades of night are lifting
G           D             Em             C
The morning light steals across my windowpane
G             D        G
Where webs of snow are drifting.

[Refrain]
           D         C   D
If I could only have you near
Bm           Em      Am  D
To breathe a sigh or two
G          D             G                C
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
G         D                 B7  Em
On this winter's night with you,
C         D                    G
and to be once again with with you.
