To breathe a sigh or two
I read again between the lines upon each page
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
Shades of night are liftin'
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
My glass is almost empty
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with you
Where webs of snow are driftin'
If I could only have you near
On this winter's night with you
On this winter's night with you
Fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The air is still in the silence of my room
The words of love you sent me
If I could know within my heart
I hear your voice softly callin'
The mornin' light steals across my windowpane
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter's night with you
