SONG FOR A WINTER'S NIGHT:Gordon Lightfoot.
Top of the charts in 1964.

#1.
G           D             Em          C
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top,
G           D      G        D
The snow is softly falling.
G          D                Em            C
The air is still within the silence of my room,
G           D            G
I hear your voice softly calling.
 
#2.
           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   D
on this winter's night with you.

#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         D               B7
And to be once again with you.
G         D                    G
and to be once again with with you.
