SONG FOR A WINTER'S NIGHT:Gordon Lightfoot. Top of the charts in 1964. #1. The lamp is burnin' 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. #2. 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. #3. The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead, My glass is almost empty. I read again between the lines upon the page, The words of love you sent me. #4. If I could know within my heart That you were lonely too I would be happy just to hold the hands I love Upon this winter night with you. #5. The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim The shades of night are lifting The mornin' light steals across my windowpane Where webs of snow are drifting. #6. If I could only have you near To breathe a sigh or two I would be happy just to hold the hands I love And to be once again with you. and to be once again with with you. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
