Song For A Winter's Night

Music and Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

As performed by Sarah McLachlan on "B-Sides, Rarities and Other Stuff"

1st verse:

The lamp is burning low upon my table top

The snow is softly falling

The air is still within the silence of my room

I hear your voice softly calling

1st bridge:

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

2nd verse:

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 send me

2nd bridge:

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

3rd verse:

The fire is dying now my lamp is getting dim

The shades of night are lifting

The morning light steals across my windowpane

Where webs of snow are drifting

3rd bridge:

If I could only have you near

To breathe a sigh or two

Last Chorus:

I would be happy just to hold the hands I love

On this winter's night with you

And to be once again with you
