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

The memories are warm and clear

But everybody knows 

It's hard to be alone 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 can 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're here

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

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 can never be

Though it meant a lot to you and me

On a world-wide scale

We're just another winter's tale



We're just another winter's tale
