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       Some days 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 t very clear    Oh I know there s something missing   And I wish you could be here       Instrumental      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
