The nights are colder now

Maybe I should close the door

 And anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps

 and I can follow you no more.

 The fire still burns at night

 My memories are warm and clear

 But everybody knows it's hard to be alone at this time of year.

 It was only a winter's tale just another winter's tale

 and why should the world take notice of one more love that's failed

 it's a love that can never be though it meant a lot to you and me

 On a world wide scale were just another winter's tale

While I stand alone

 A bell is ringing far away

 I wonder if you hear, I wonder if you're 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.

 It was only a winter's tale just another winter's tale

 and why should the world take notice of one more love that's failed

 it's a love that can never be though it meant a lot to you and me

 On a world wide scale were just another winter's tale
