The lamp is burning low upon my tabletop, the snow is softly falling.
The air is still within the silence of my room, I hear your voice softly calling.
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 morning light steals across my windowpane where webs of snow are drifting.
If I could only have you near to breathe a sigh or two,
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love and to be once again with you,
To be once again with you.
