Song for a Winter's Night
A Winter's Night: Love's Whisper in Silent Snowfall
Lyrics
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The lamp is flickering and about to extinguish on the surface of my table.
The snow is softly fallin'
Snow is falling gently and quietly.
The air is still in the silence of my room
The atmosphere is calm and tranquil in the quietness of my room.
I hear your voice softly callin'
I perceive your voice calling softly and gently.
If I could only have you near
If only I could have you close to me,
To breathe a sigh or two
Just to let out a couple of sighs,
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
I would find contentment simply by holding the hands of my beloved.
On this winter's night with you
Especially on a winter's night like this, spending it with you.
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
Smoke is ascending in the darkness above me.
My glass is almost empty
My glass is nearly empty.
I read again between the lines upon each page
I revisit the messages implied but not explicitly stated in each written communication.
The words of love you sent me
The expressions of affection and love that you conveyed to me.
If I could know within my heart
If I could be certain deep in my heart,
That you were lonely too
That you also felt lonely like I do,
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
I would find joy just by holding the hands of my beloved,
On this winter's night with you
Especially on this wintry night spent with you.
The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The fire is dwindling, and my lamp is losing its brightness.
The shades of night are liftin'
The darkness of night is fading away.
The mornin' light steals across my windowpane
Early daylight is creeping through my window,
Where webs of snow are driftin'
Where layers of snow are accumulating.
If I could only have you near
If only I could have you close to me,
To breathe a sigh or two
Just to let out a couple of sighs,
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
I would find contentment simply by holding the hands of my beloved.
On this winter's night with you
Especially on this wintry night spent with you,
And to be once again with with you
And to be reunited once more with you.
