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:
F C Bb
The lamp is burning low upon my table top
F C F
The snow is softly falling
F C Bb
The air is still within the silence of my room
F C F
I hear your voice softly calling
1st bridge:
F C Bb C
If I could only have you near
Am Dm Bb C
To breathe a sigh or two
Chorus:
F C Bb
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
F C F
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
Chorus:
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:
F C Bb C
If I could only have you near
Am Dm Bb C
To breathe a sigh or two
Last Chorus:
F C Bb
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
F C Dm C
On this winter's night with you
F C F
And to be once again with you

| This song is romantic, yet still has that longing sense. "If I could know within my heart that you are lonely too" Yearning for that special person around the holidays is tough. "I would be happy just to hold the hands I love.. and to be once again with you." | |

| Depicts how I feel exactly. Especially the line..."If I could know within my heart That you were lonely too" . Long distant relationships hurt. | |

| Well, I thought there used to be a way to submit corrections to the lyrics, so I'll try here. The lamp is burning low upon my table top The snow is softly falling The air still in the silence of my room I hear your voice softly calling 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 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 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, my 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 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 with you To be once again with with you. | |
