[Verse 1]
G+G *       D/F#D/F#      E minorEm      C majorC
  The lamp is burning low u - pon my table top,

  The snow is softly falling,
G+G *      D/F#D/F#       E minorEm      C majorC
  The air is still within the silence of my room,
G+G        D MajorD       G+G
  I hear your voice softly calling!


[Verse 2]
  G+G    D MajorD  Cadd9Cadd9      D MajorD
If I could only   ...have you near,
D/C B minorBm        E minorEm   A minorAm  D MajorD
    To breathe a sigh, or two------,
G+G *       D/F#D/F#     E minorEm        C majorC
  I would be happy just to hold the hands I love,
G+G       D MajorD        G/F  E minor 7Em7  G+G
  On this winter night with you------!

  The smoke is rising in the shadows over - head,
G+G         D MajorD   G+G
  My glass is almost empty,
G+G *      D/F#D/F#       E minorEm       C majorC
  I read a - gain between the lines upon each page,
G+G         D MajorD    G+G
  The words of love you sent me!

[Verse 4]
  G+G    D MajorD     Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD

  The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim,
G+G          D MajorD     G+G
  The shades of night are lifting,
G+G *       D/F#D/F#       E minorEm        C majorC
  The morning light steals a - cross my window - pane,
G+G         D MajorD     G+G
  Where webs of snow are drifting!


[Verse 6]
  G+G    D MajorD  Cadd9Cadd9      D MajorD
If I could only   ...have you near,
D/C B minorBm        E minorEm   A minorAm  D MajorD
    To breathe a sigh, or two-------,
G+G *      D/F#D/F#      E minorEm        C majorC
  I would be happy just to hold the hands I love,
