Verse 1

  Lookin' from my window

  At the freshly fallen snow

  That sparkles as it tumbles

  Upon the street below

  And the crackle of the fire

  Is laughing in my ear

  And the room is warm and sleepy

  I wish you could be here

[repeat second half of intro]

Verse 2

Sundays in this town

There's not a lot for me to do

I've been listening to some records

But my thoughts have turned to you

I try to read the paper

But the words aren't very clear

And I know there's something missing

  I wish you could be here

  I wish you could be here

[repeat intro]

  I keep listening for your footsteps

  Or your key turned in the door

  I sure could use your company

  But we've been through that before

  The winter's going to last

  A long time this year

  I've got lots of empty time to kill

  I wish you could be here

  I wish you could be here

  I wish you could be here

[repeat intro (in Ab) to fade]
