This is probably one of my favorite Gord songs - right up there with Shadows.

This song is so wonderful in it's simplicity. As storysongman put it, who hasn't experience this. In fact, i think it's so universal, i experienced this song, almost in its entirety to the word. Everything from the snow the the lamp to the letters that he's reading. So sad, and so sweet all at the same time.

"If i could know within my heart, that you were lonely too" is perhaps the most heartbreaking line.

My endless thanks to you for this song Mr. Lightfoot.
