The lamp is burning low
Upon my table tow
The snow is softly falling
(The air) The air still in the silence of my room
(I hear) I hear your voice softly calling

If I could only have you near
(To breathe) 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) The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
(My glass) My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon each page
(The words) The words of love you send 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 is dying the lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are lifting
The morning light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are drifting

If I could only have you near
(To breathe) To breathe a sigh or two
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
