Capo 2(Key: A)
 
[INTRO]
 
G D Em C  G D G D
 
[VERSE 1]
 
G           D            Em           C
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top,
G           D      G     D
The snow is softly falling
G          D                Em            C
The air is still within the silence of my room,
G           D            G
I hear your voice softly calling 
 
[CHORUS]
 
           D    C        D
If I could only have you near,
Bm           Em   Am D
To breathe a sigh or two
G          D             Em               C
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love,
 G        D                 G
Upon this winter night with you 
 
G D Em C  G D G D
 
[VERSE 2]
 
G            D             Em          C
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead,
G           D      G   D
My glass is almost empty
G       D                Em              C
I read again between the lines upon each page,
G            D        G
The words of love you sent me 
 
[CHORUS]
 
           D        C     D
If I could know within my heart,
Bm            Em  Am  D
That you were lonely  too
G          D             Em               C
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love,
 G        D                 G
Upon this winter night with you 
 
G D Em C  G D G D
 
[VERSE 3]
 
G           D             Em              C
The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim,
G             D         G    D
The shades of night are liftin'
G           D             Em             C
The morning light steals across my windowpane,
G             D        G
Where webs of snow are driftin' 
 
[CHORUS]
           D    C        D
If I could only have you near,
Bm           Em   Am D
To breathe a sigh or two
G          D             Em               C
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love,
 G        D                 B7 Em
Upon this winter night with you,
C         D               G
And to be once again with you
 
G D Em C  G D G D
