[Verse 1]
G             D/F#         Em           C
  The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
G             D      G        D
  The snow is softly falling
G            D/F#         Em            C
  The air is still in the silence of my room
G             D            G
  I hear your voice softly calling

[Refrain]
G          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
on this winter night with you

(G) D  Em C
 G  D  G  D

[Verse 2]
G              D/F#          Em          C
  The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
G             D          G  D
  My glass is almost empty
G        D/F#              Em             C
  I read again between the lines upon the page
G              D        G
  The words of love you sent me

[Refrain]
G          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
  On this winter night with you

(G) D  Em C
 G  D  G  D

[Verse 3]
G             D/F#        Em              C
  The fire is dying... My lamp is growing dim
G               D         G       D
  The shades of night are lifting
G             D/F#          Em             C
  The morning light steals across my windowpane
G               D        G
  Where webs of snow are drifting

[Refrain]
G          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
  On this winter night with you
C           D               G
  and to be once again with you

(G) D  Em C
 G  D  G  D
