The nights are colder now maybe I should close the door and anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps and I can follow you no more the fire still burns at night my memories are warm and clear but everybody knows it's hard to be alone at this time of year It was only a winter's tale just another winter's tale and why should the world take notice of one more love that's failed a love that could never be though it meant a lot to you and me on a world wide scale we're just another winter's tale while I stand alone a bell is ringing far away I wonder if you hear, I wonder if you're listening I wonder where you are today good luck, I wish you well for all that wishes may be worth I hope that love and strength are with you for the length of your time on Earth It was only a winter's tale just another winter's tale and why should the world take notice of one more love that's failed it's a love that could never be though it meant a lot to you and me on a world-wide scale we're just another winter's tale It was only a winter's tale just another winter's tale and why should the world take notice of one more love that's failed it's a love that could never be though it meant a lot to you and me on a world-wide scale we're just another winter's tale
