**Chords:**
C  G  Am  F  
C  G  F  C  

C               G  
The lamp is burning low upon my tabletop  
Am                   F  
The snow is softly falling  
C                    G  
The air is still except for the whispers in the wind  
F                  C  
And the night is cold and calling  

C               G  
I can see the lights of the city  
Am                  F  
Shining bright against the dark  
C                   G  
But all I want is to be with you  
F                C  
In this winter's night so stark  

C             G  
The fire's warmth is fading  
Am                  F  
But my love for you is growing  
C               G  
Though the world outside is freezing  
F                    C  
My heart is warm and glowing  

C             G  
So hold me close, my darling  
Am                 F  
As the snowflakes start to fall  
C                 G  
We'll make our own sweet music  
F                    C  
In this winter's night, after all
