Song For A Winter's Night, ©1975 by Gordon Lightfoot

The lamp is burning low upon my table top
The snow is softly falling
The air is still in the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly calling
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter night with you




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 sent me
If I could know within my heart, that you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter night with you




The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are lifting
The morning light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are drifting
If I could only have you near, to breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with you
On this winter night with you

I do not understand why this song touches me so magically and mystically as it does, but it does so like no other. This video complements Lightfoot's mastepiece in just such a magical and mystical way. My favorite element: the heart-shaped cloud!

@robtuohy1 Thanks for your nice words too! So great that you have seen Gord live in Massey Hall in Toronto! It's sure very impressive that he is singing there for more than 40 years now! Greeting to your beautiful country Canada too!

@friedjeboeree THANKYOU for you kind words. You are obviously are warm and generous person. You have a kind heart and it seems you have brought a lot of happiness to people who have viewed your videos. I am from Canada and have seen Gord LIVE a few times at Massey Hall here in Toronto. He has been outselling Massey Hall for more than 40 years now. Pretty impressive, I would say. Greetings to that beautiful country of Holland.
