INTRO . . . . . . . . . .
The nights are cold-er now
May-be I should close the door
And an-y-how the snow has
cov-ered all your foot-steps
and I can fol-low you no more
The fire still burns at night
My mem-o-ries are warm and clear
But eve-ry-bo-dy knows it's hard
to be a-lone at this time of year -
It was on-ly a win-ters tale
Just a-noth-er win-ters tale
And why should the world take
no-tice of one more love that's failed -
A love that could nev-er be
though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale we're
just a-noth-er win-ters tale
While I stand a-lone
A bell is ring-ing far a-way
I won-der if you hear
I won-der if you're listen-ing
I won-der where you are to-day
Good luck, I wish you well
for all that wish-es may be worth
I hope that love and strength
are with you for the length
of your time on earth
It was on-ly a win-ters tale
Just a-noth-er win-ters tale
And why should the world take
no-tice of one more love that's failed -
A love that could nev-er be
though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale we're
just a-noth-er win-ters tale
It was on-ly a win-ters tale
Just a-noth-er win-ters tale
And why should the world take
no-tice of one more love that's failed -
A love that could nev-er be
though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale we're
just a-noth-er win-ters tale
