^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ tacet 1st time

Verse 1:

Lookin' from my window

At the freshly fallen snow

That sparkles as it tumbles

Upon the street below

And the crackle of the fire

FaddG

Is laughing in my ear

And the room is warm and sleepy

I wish you could be here

Verse 2:

Sundays in this town

There's not a lot for me to do

I've been listening to some records

But my thoughts have turned to you

I try to read the paper

But the words aren't very clear

And I know there's something missing

I wish you could be here

I wish you could be here

I keep listening for your footsteps

Or your key turned in the door

I sure could use your company

But we've been through that before

The winter's going to last

GbaddAb

A long time this year

I've got lots of empty time to kill

I wish you could be here

I wish you could be here

I wish you could be here

-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
