Winter's Tale

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
 a love that could never be
 though it meant a lot to you and me
 on a world wide scale we're 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 could never be
 though it meant a lot to you and me
 on a world-wide scale we're just another winter's tale
 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 could never be
 though it meant a lot to you and me
 on a worldwide scale we're just another winter's tale
