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:
                        
The lamp is burning 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

1st bridge:
                     
If I could only have you near
                    
To breathe a sigh or two

Chorus:
                       
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
                          
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:
                      
If I could only have you near
                    
To breathe a sigh or two

Last Chorus:
                       
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
