1. The nights are colder now, maybe I should
close the door,
C G Am
and
anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps,
F G
and I
can follow you no more.

The fire still burns at night,
my memories are warm and clear,
C G F G7 C
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 ?
C G7

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.
