Song for a Winter’s Night (1975 Version)

[Verse 1]
The lamp is burnin' 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon each page
The words of love you sent me

[Chorus]
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 night with you

[Verse 3]
The fire is 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

[Chorus]
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
And to be once again with you
