The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
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 can never be Though we meant to love to you and me On a worldwide scale we're just another winter's tale Why I stand alone A bell is ringing far away I wonder if you hear I wonder if you 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 we meant to love to you and me On a worldwide 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 we meant to love to you and me On a worldwide scale we're just another winter's tale
