[A] [G] He's a young executive who had a ski [E] lodge up in the mountains and he went [A] with a model
from Eaton's catalog.
[D] She went away [G#] to [B] Montreal as her [E] centennial project.
[D]
[A] We find the young man, he's [C#m] locked himself in his [A] chalet, he's hopelessly lost, and it's
a somber winter and things like that, sitting up all night drinking and terrible things like that.

[A] [E] [A]
lamp is [E] burning low [F#m] upon my [D] table top, [A]
the snow is [E] softly [A] falling,
[E] [A] the air is [E] still
in [F#m] the silence [D] of my room, [A] I hear [E] your voice softly [A] calling.
If I [E] could only [F#m] have [E] you near [C#m] to [F#m] breathe a sigh [Bm] or two, [E] [A] I would [E] be happy just to [F#m] hold
the [D] hands I [A]
love on [E] this winter night [A] with you.
[E] [A]
[Em] [A]
The smoke is [E] rising in [F#m] the shadows [D] overhead, [A] my glass [E] is almost [A] empty, [E]
[A] I read [E] again between
[F#m] the lines upon [D] the [A] page, the words of [E] love you [A] sent me.
If I could [E] know [D] within my [F#] heart [C#m] that you [F#m] are [Bm] lonely too, [E] [A] I would be [E] happy just [F#m] to hold
the [D] hands I [A] love on [E] this winter night [A] with you.
[E] [A] [Em]
[A] [E] [A]
[E] Fire is dying now, my [F#m] lamp is [D] growing [A] dim, the shades [E] of night [A] are lifting, [E] [A] the morning
[E] light [F#m] steals across [D] my window pane [A] where webs of [E] snow [A] are drifting.
If I [C#m] could [D] only have [F#] you near [C#m] to breathe [F#m] a [Bm] sigh or two, [E]
[A] I [E] would be happy just [F#m] to hold
the [D] hands I [A] love and to be once again [C#] with you, [F#m] [D] to be [E] once again [Em] with you.
