     The lamp is burning low u - pon my table top,
G/B              D/A    G *
     The snow is softly falling,
G               D/F#             Em            C
     The air is still within the silence of my room,
G/B              D/A          G *
     I hear your voice softly calling!

If I could only      ...have you near,
D/C Bm               Em      Am   D
        To breathe a sigh or two------,
G *            D/F#          Em               C
    I would be happy just to hold the hands I love,

G                 D/F#          Em             C
     The smoke is rising in the shadows over - head,
G/B              D/A    G
     My glass is almost empty,
G               D/F#             Em              C
     I read a - gain between the lines upon each page,

    The words of love you sent me!
 
[Verse 4]

G                D/F#          Em              C
     The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim,
G/B                D/A       G *
     The shades of night are lifting,
G *              D/F#             Em                C
     The morning light steals a - cross my window - pane,
G/B                D/A      G *
     Where webs of snow are drifting!
 
[Verse 6]
   G       D/F#   Cadd9           D
If I could only       ...have you near,
D/C Bm               Em      Am   D
        To breathe a sigh or two-------,
G               D/F#          Em               C
     I would be happy just to hold the hands I love,
