Paroles de Song For A Winter's Night

(Music and Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot)
Performed by Gordon Lightfoot on the album "The Way I Feel" (United Artists, 1967)

The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The snow is softly fallin'
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly callin'

If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you

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

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

The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are liftin'
The mornin' light steals across my windowpane I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with with you
To be once again with with you
