[Verse 1]
G *              D/F#           Em            C
    The lamp is burning low u - pon my table top,
G                 D      G
    The snow is softly falling,
G *            D/F#              Em            C
    The air is still within the silence of my room,
G                D             G
    I hear your voice softly calling!


[Verse 2]
   G        D    Cadd9            D
If I could only      ...have you near,
D/C Bm                Em      Am    D
        To breathe a sigh, or two------,
G *             D/F#          Em               C
    I would be happy just to hold the hands I love,
G             D               G/F   Em7   G
    On this winter night with you------!

  G/F    Em7      G

[Verse 3]
G *               D/F#           Em            C
    The smoke is rising in the shadows over - head,
G                 D      G
    My glass is almost empty,
G *            D/F#              Em              C
    I read a - gain between the lines upon each page,
G                  D       G
    The words of love you sent me!


[Verse 4]
   G        D         Cadd9    D
If I could know with - in my heart,
D/C Bm                  Em   Am    D
        That you were lonely too-------,
G *            D/F#          Em                C
    I would be happy just to hold the hands I love,
G             D               G/F   Em7   G
    On this winter night with you------!

G/F        Em7     G         G/F  Em7   G
     Hoo---oo, oo, oo----!
          G/F  Em7  G
Hoo---oo, oo,       oo----!


[Verse 5]
G *              D/F#          Em              C
    The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim,
G                   D          G
    The shades of night are lifting,
G *             D/F#             Em                C
    The morning light steals a - cross my window - pane,
G                  D          G
    Where webs of snow are drifting!


[Verse 6]
   G        D   Cadd9            D
If I could only     ...have you near,
D/C Bm                Em      Am    D
        To breathe a sigh, or two-------,
G *            D/F#           Em               C
    I would be happy just to hold the hands I love,
G             D               G/F   Em7   G
    On this winter night with you------!

G/F  Em7           G     G/F        Em7   G
         Hoo---oo, oo-------!  Hoo, oo-------!
