Music and Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot
As performed by Sarah McLachlan on "B-Sides, Rarities and Other Stuff"
1st verse:
FThe lamp is Cburning low uDmpon my table Bbtop
FThe snow is Csoftly Ffalling
FThe air is Cstill within the Dmsilence of my Bbroom
FI hear your Cvoice softly Fcalling
1st bridge:
FIf I could Conly Bbhave you Cnear
AmTo breathe a Dmsigh or BbtwoC  
Chorus:
FI would be Chappy just to Dmhold the hands I Bblove
FOn this Cwinter's night with Fyou
2nd verse:
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon each page
The words of love you send me
2nd bridge:
If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
Chorus:
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter's night with you
3rd verse:
The fire is dying now my lamp is getting dim
The shades of night are lifting
The morning light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are drifting
3rd bridge:
FIf I could Conly Bbhave you nCear
AmTo breathe a Dmsigh or BbtwoC  
Last Chorus:
FI would be Chappy just to Dmhold the hands I Bblove
FOn this Cwinter's night with DmyouC  
FAnd to be Conce again with Fyou
