[E]
Thank you.
[Em] All right.
[C#] And this is [B] the one that was written [F] about snow and about winter and the romance thereof,
[C] written [G#m] during a thunderstorm in Cleveland, [F#] Ohio.
[B]
[E]
And it's [A] kind of a nice tune.
The [G#m] lamp is burning low [F#m] upon my [D] table top.
[A]
[E] Snowing soft [A] before the moon.
[E] [A]
There [E] is still [F#m] the silence of [D] my room.
[A] I hear [E] a voice softly [A] calling.
If I [E] could only [D]
have you [E] near
[C#m] and breathe [F#m] a sigh [Bm] or two
[E] [A] I would [E] be happy just [F#m] to hold the hands [D] I [A] love
on [E] this winter's night [A] with you.
The smoke is [E] rising and [F#m] the shadows
[D] overhang.
[A] My glass [E] is almost [A] empty.
[E] [A] I read [G#m] again between [F#m] the lines upon [D] the page
[A] the words [E] of love you [A] sent me.
If I [E] could know [D] within [E] my heart
[C#m]
you [F#m] were lonely [Bm] too
[E] I [A]
would [E] be happy just [F#m] to hold the hands [D] I love
[A]
on [E] this winter's night [A] with you.
The fire [G#m] is dying now, [F#m] my life is growing [D] dim.
[A] The shades [E] of night [A] are lifting.
[E] [A] The morning [E] light stares [F#m] across my [D] windowpane.
[A] The lips of [E] snow [A] are drifting.
If I [E] could only [D]
have [E] you near
[C#m] and breathe [F#m] a sigh [Bm] or two
[E] [A] I would [E] be happy just [F#m] to hold the hands [D] I love
[A]
to [E] be once again [C#] with you.
[F#m] [D] Just to [E] be once again [A] with you.
