Song For A Winter's Night Lyrics
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The snow is softly fallin'
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly callin'
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon the page
The words of love you sent me
If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you
The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are liftin'
The mornin' light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are driftin'
if I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with with you
To be once again with with you.
The snow is softly fallin'
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly callin'
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon the page
The words of love you sent me
If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you
The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are liftin'
The mornin' light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are driftin'
if I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with with you
To be once again with with you.

beautiful. totally catches the spirit gordon lightfoot had orignially put into this cover song.
Both simple, and simply beautiful..
muscially mystifying, it really puts you in the shoes of the singer. Absolutely beautiful
"i would be happy just to hold the hands i love" how wonderfully put.
hauntingly beautiful song
Depicts how I feel exactly. Especially the line..."If I could know within my heart That you were lonely too" . Long distant relationships hurt.
To me. this song actually sounds like snow falling! Gorgious!
Well, I thought there used to be a way to submit corrections to the lyrics, so I'll try here. The lamp is burning low upon my table top The snow is softly falling The air still in the silence of my room I hear your voice softly calling If I could only have you near To breathe a sigh or two I would be happy just to hold the hands I love On this winter's night with you 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 sent me If I could know within my heart That you were lonely too I would be happy just to hold the hands I love On this winter's night with you The fire is dying, my lamp is growing dim The shades of night are lifting The morning light steals across my windowpane Where webs of snow are drifting If I could only have you near To breathe a sigh or two I would be happy just to hold the hands I love On this winter's night with you And to be once again with with you To be once again with with you.
This song is romantic, yet still has that longing sense. "If I could know within my heart that you are lonely too" Yearning for that special person around the holidays is tough. "I would be happy just to hold the hands I love.. and to be once again with you."
This song strikes such a strong chord in my heart. My then-boyfriend emailed me this song the night we decided to try again on our long-distance relationship. We married two years later, but sadly, he passed away after only 5 years. So I am still wishing I could be happy just holding the hands I love...
