Looking from my window

On the freshly fallen snow,

It sparkles as it tumbles

Upon the street below,

The crackle of the fire

Is laughing in my ear,

The room is warm and sleepy

And I wish you could be here.

Somedays in this town

There's not a lot for me to do,

I've been listening to some records

And my thoughts return to you,

I tried to read the paper

But the words aren't very clear,

Oh I know there's something missing

And I wish you could be here.

I keep listening for your footsteps

Or your key turned in the door,

I sure could use your company

But we've been through that before,

I think the winter's going to last

A long time this year,

I've got empty time to fill

And I wish you could be here.
