Lyrics

The lamp is (F)burn ing low up on my ta ble (Eb)top;

the snow is (F7)soft ly (Bb)fall ing.

The air is (F)still with in the (Gm)si lence of my (Eb)room;

(Bb)I hear your voice soft ly (Bb)call ing.

If I could (F7)on ly (Eb)have you (F)near

to breathe a (Gm)sigh or (Cm7)two,

I would be (F)hap py just to hold the hands I (Eb)love

(Bb)up on this (F7)win ter’s night with (Bb)you.

The fire is (F)dy ing now, my lamp is grow ing (Eb)dim;

the shades of (F7)night are (Bb)lift ing.

The morn ing (F)light with steals a (Gm)cross my win dow (Eb)pane

(Bb)where webs of snow soft are (Bb)drift ing.

If I could (F7)on ly (Eb)have you (F)near

to breathe a (Gm)sigh or (Cm7)two,

I would be (F)hap py just to hold the hands I (Eb)love

(Bb)up on this (F7)win ter’s night with (Bb)you.

up on this (F7)win ter’s night with (D7)you;

and to be (F7)once a gain with (Bb)you.
