{st:Gordon Lighfoot}
[F]The lamp is [C]burning low up [Dm]on my table[Bb]top
[F]The snow is [C]softly [F]falling [C]
[F]The air is [C]still within the [Dm]silence of my [Bb]room
[F]I hear your [C]voice softly [F]calling
{C:1st Bridge:}
[F]If I could [C]only [Bb]have you [C]near
[Am]To breathe a [Dm]sigh or [Bb]two. [C]

[F]I would be [C]happy just to [Dm]hold the hands I [Bb]love
[F]On this [C]winter’s night with [F]you [C]
{eoc}
{C:2nd Verse:}
[F]The smoke is [C]rising in the [Dm]shadows over[Bb]head
[F]My glass is [C]almost [F]empty[C]

[F]The words of [C]love you [F]send me
{C:2nd. Bridge:}
[F]If I could [C]only [Bb]have you [C]near
[Am]To breathe a [Dm]sigh or [Bb]two. [C]

{C:3rd Verse:}
[F]The fire is [C]dying now my [Dm]lamp is getting [Bb]dim
[F]The shades of [C]night are [F]lifting [C]
[F]The morning [C]light steals a[Dm]cross my window[Bb]pane
[F]Where webs of [C]snow are [F]drifting
{C:3rd Bridge:}
[F]If I could [C]only [Bb]have you [C]near
[Am]To breathe a [Dm]sigh or [Bb]two. [C]
{C:Last Chorus:}
{soc}
[F]I would be [C]happy just to [Dm]hold the hands I [Bb]love
