Known to many of my generation from Sarah McLachlan’s 2006 album Wintersong, A Song For a Winter’s Night is a Gordon Lightfoot song, first recorded for his 1967 album The Way I Feel.
The lamp is burnin’ 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
peace
Dude still knows how to do it.
Love this song, though I’ve never heard it.
Cold nights, cool song, thanks cooper.
btw I’ve never listened to sarah’s version, but this has to far outweigh it — is my guess.

Sarah McLachlan singing Gordon Lightfoot makes perfect sense to me. Happy New Year, Coop.

Same to you gills, though this comment response is posted a little late.
I agree with your choices for your best posts, though I think that for most of your posts I have no complaints. The I dislike closed comments, because I usually have the most to say when comments are closed.
the plague and the poem were my favorites.

Regarding this post..love the song, but will have to listen to her version. I like Sarah McLachlan but can ‘t imagine it being better, different and good maybe but not better.
ok I listened to it and recognize her version it is pretty good. I’m torn.
I know the comments above are closed but…
Happy New year Cooper I was especially fond of that poem “perspective” and connotations ending in in dreams” a perfect post.
