the nights are colder now
maybe i should close the door
the snow has covered all your footsteps
i can follow you no more
the fire still burns at night
my memories are warm and clear
but everybody knows its hard to be alone
at this time of year
(chorus)
it was only a winters tale
just another winters tale
and why should the world take notice
of one more love thats failed
it`s a love that could never be
though it meant a lot to you and me
on a world wide scale
its just another winters tale.
why i stand alone
a bell is ringing far away
i wonder if you hear
i wonder if your listening
i wonder where you are today
good luck i wish you well
for all that wishes may be worth
i hope that love and strength
are with you for the length of your time on earth.
(repeat chorus and finish)
