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

[Verse 2]
   G       D/F#  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,

    On this winter night with you------!

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

[Verse 4]
   G       D/F#       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,

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

[Verse 6]
   G       D/F#   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/B             D/A              G/F   Em7   G5
       On this winter night with you------!
