Song For A Winters Night

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:
F           C             Bb
The lamp is burning low upon my table top
F           C      F
The snow is softly falling
F          C                Bb
The air is still within the silence of my room
F           C            F
I hear your voice softly calling
1st bridge:
F          C    Bb       C
If I could only have you near
Am           Dm      Bb   C
To breathe a sigh or two
Chorus:
F          C             Bb
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
F       C                   F
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:
F          C    Bb        C
If I could only have you near
Am           Dm      Bb   C
To breathe a sigh or two
Last Chorus:
F          C             Bb
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
F       C                   Dm C
On this winter's night with you
F         C               F
And to be once again with you
