SONG FOR A WINTER'S NIGHT:Gordon Lightfoot.
Top of the charts in 1964.
#1.
[G]The lamp is [D]burnin' low up[Em]on my table [C]top,
[G]The snow is [D]softly [G]falling.[D]
[G]The air is [D]still within the [Em]silence of my [C]room,
[G]I hear your [D]voice softly [G]calling.
#2.
If I could [D]only [C]have you [D]near,
[Bm]To breathe a [Em]sigh or [Am]two,[D]
[G]I would be [D]happy just to [Em]hold the hands I [C]love..
[G]on this [D]winter's night with [G]you.[D]
#3.
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.
#4.
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.
#5.
The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are lifting
The mornin' light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are drifting.
#6.
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
[G]And to be [D]once again with [B7]you.
[G]and to be [D]once again with with [G]you.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
