East York Choir: "Song for a Winter's Night"


the lamp is burning low upon my table top
the snow is softly falling
the air is still within the silence of my room
i hear your voice softly calling
if i could only have you near
to breathe a sigh or two
i would be happy just to hold the hands i love
upon this winter night with you

the smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
my glass is almost empty
i read again between the lines upon each page
the words of love you sent me
if i could know within my heart
that you were lonely too
i would be happy just to hold the hands i love
upon this winter night with you

the fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
the shades of night are lifting
the morning light steals across my windowpane
where webs of snow are drifting
if i could only have you near
to breathe a sigh or two
i would be happy just to hold the hands i love
upon this winter night with you
and to be once again with you

Tom Northcott: "Sunny Goodge Street"


The magician, he sparkles in satin and velvet.
You gaze at his splendor with eyes you've not used yet.
I tell you his name is Love, Love, Love...
--Donovan Leitch (from "Sunny Goodge Street")
