The most beautiful love song ever written. As a young man I wished to find a girl who filled the longing this song brought me. Fifty years have now passed in a life of seventy years, I never found her and know I never will. Once, briefly, I was certain she was in my life but it didn’t last. Still I am thankful for her and our fleeting time together. I sincerely hope you find a person who thoughts of brings you warmth on a deep and lonely winter’s night. If you are young please don’t settle for less, please keep your heart open and let your love find them. They are searching for you as you are them.
❤ I was so blessed to find my late husband. I had a love before him, too. I was doubly blessed. Both are gone from my life now , at 70 I have wonderful memories of them both. Who knows what life has in store , don't give up on ❤
Beautifully written by Gordon Lightfoot and MAGNIFICENTLY PERFORMED By SARAH McLACHLAN ! SO INCREDIBLE This Cover.... Thank You SARAH for your AWESOME VERSION ! ! ! ❤
My husband used to sing this song and Gordon Lightfoot's "Beautiful" to me, playing the guitar so beautifully. He has passed on, but these songs bring him back to me....
I've lost my granddaughter, daughter and son-in-law to covid-19. This song is so beautiful, brings tears to my eyes. 😢. I just wish I could hold them once more.
@@ctmoss2290 thanks so very much ❤️🌈🙏. I'm so sorry for your lost as well. I hope 2021 is a better year for you and everyone in the world 🌍 God bless you and your family 🙏. Peace ✌️ and safety.
My Second Christmas without my wife who passed in February 2022. Miss her every day. Will love her until I take my last breath. Song reminds me of her. Tears in my eyes.
Hauntingly beautiful. Reminds me of my son, Vincent, who passed away when he was only 25, after a lift long battle against Cystic Fibrosis. I miss you my baby
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top The snow is softly falling The air is still in 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 On this winter’s night with you The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead My glass is almost empty I read again between the lines upon each page The words of love you sent me If I could know within my heart That you were lonely too I would be happy just to hold the hands I love On this winter’s night with you The fire is dying My lamp is growing dim The shades of night are lifting The morning light steals across my window pane Where webs of snow are drifting If I could only have you near To breathe a sigh or two I would be happy just to hold the hands I love On this winter’s night with you And to be once again with you
Just listening to this again as I do each Christmas season...it moves me to tears and I believe it's my favorite song of all time. I love both renditions of it. Of course Gordon's but she does it so methodically and poignant. Beautiful!
I agree with you. I lost my two daughters and grandchildren to covid-19 💔😢. I'm so heartbroken. If I could only see them again to tell them I love them again 😢💔😢💞
@@deborahbertone9460 your comment brought tears to my eyes. So sorry for your heartbreaking loss. May the memories you have of you loved ones hold you up when you feel you can't go on. Peace to you, where ever you are. And know someone else is crying with you.
You have to hear Gordon's version on the gords gold album. It was my husbands and I s favourite. He has alzheimers now but it will always be our song. 😭
My first reaction when I saw this post was that this is one person who I was confident would do Gordon's lyrics and melody justice. She would treat the beauty with respect and make him proud. She did not disappoint. Lovely Sarah.
Second best to Lightfoot's beautiful. Who hasn't loved and lost, and how do you get past, "I read again between the lines upon each page, the words of love you sent me." Heart-rending, for anyone who has lived that. Beautiful at Christmas or all through the year. Gordon paints such pictures in my mind, always has. Sarah does it justice.
When I was a baby my mom would hold me and sing this song to me and play it, now we always sing it together and, I hope one day I can sing it with my future wife, and to my future kids if I have any.
It's been three years since my dear Julie passed.. this passage fits so proper... If I could only have you near To breathe a sigh or two I would be happy just to hold the hands I love On this winter's night with you🙏
Almost a year ago, my ballet teacher choreographed a dance to this song that my ballet class did. That’s how I figured out about this song. I have now moved so I don’t go to the same dance studio anymore. Whenever I hear this song, I get so much memories from when we did the dance to this song.
This song gives me so much nostalgia because at Christmas my mum would always play this album on our CD stereo system. Can't believe this song is 22 years old.
I have Lightfoot's first album and many others. I am just relearning this song and found this great cover. The comments below prove that you can't please everybody. They of course are entitled to dislike it as it is just a matter of taste. Sarah and Gord make Canada proud.
I love this song to death and will listen to it on repeat, but damn it, it's also the only song that consistently makes me wish I wasn't single at Christmas!
How can you people say that this is a crapy cover. Man I get it, no one on here has been thinking of some one that they've lost or longed for in the winter time? Wow, I'm a rare breed. Some just haven't lived long enough, or suffered. Sad really. Anyway the song's the bomb.

For three years I have slept in my truck while I work in Vancouver Supporting my family on Vancouver Island. Music keeps me going on these winter nights So far away I am held close to the one I love

It's never too late to find that perfect love 😊
What a beautiful post! You have found yourself...The greatest love of all!!😀
❤ I was so blessed to find my late husband.
I had a love before him, too.
I was doubly blessed.
Both are gone from my life now , at 70 I have wonderful memories of them both.
Who knows what life has in store , don't give up on ❤
Perhaps in your next lifetime....I believe this isn't all there is .❣

Very sorry for your loss, Deborah.

Sending you healing thoughts and positive energy. My condolences to you, I too lost someone to Covid. Treat yourself well and may peace come your way.

My Second Christmas without my wife who passed in February 2022. Miss her every day. Will love her until I take my last breath. Song reminds me of her. Tears in my eyes.
For everyone who is missing someone this Christmas , this song captures that in words and melody.
Everyone is always missing someone. Always.
this will forever be my favorite Sarah song, and I've sung two different songs of hers in the memory of some very beloved family members ❤
A wonderful addition to modern Christmas/Winter seasonal songs.
Hauntingly beautiful. Reminds me of my son, Vincent, who passed away when he was only 25, after a lift long battle against Cystic Fibrosis. I miss you my baby
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The snow is softly falling
The air is still in 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
On this winter’s night with you
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon each page
The words of love you sent me
If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter’s night with you
The fire is dying
My lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are lifting
The morning light steals across my window pane
Where webs of snow are drifting
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter’s night with you
And to be once again with you
Gordon Lightfoot 1967.

Gordan Lightfoot and Sarah McLachlan two Canadian legends team up for a classic moment.
Thank you both for this
Even more poignant during the holidays of 2020. ♥️
I agree, I love this song and just thought about it today! May 2021 be a lot brighter than this past year! Peace to you and yours! 🎄

Another beautiful Canadian winter song. Written & then sung by two great Canadians. We love our winters!
I never heard this song before. It's now my "new" favorite song.
You have to hear Gordon's version on the gords gold album. It was my husbands and I s favourite. He has alzheimers now but it will always be our song. 😭
Please also listen to the Original by Gordon Lightfoot.

There are so many good cover's of this beautiful song. Sarah's version is still my favorite.
Such a beautiful song. It gives me comfort when I miss my loved ones that are spending Christmas in heaven. So inspiring.

Heart-rending, for anyone who has lived that. Beautiful at Christmas or all through the year. Gordon paints such pictures in my mind, always has. Sarah does it justice.
Not sure what your comment means, but Lightfoot wrote it, Sarah covered it. Both are great.
When I was a baby my mom would hold me and sing this song to me and play it, now we always sing it together and, I hope one day I can sing it with my future wife, and to my future kids if I have any.
The original by Gordon lightfoot is beautiful and Sarah does it justice!Beautiful!

This achingly beautiful rendition of one of Gordy's BEST songs, always brings tears to my eyes....in both good and bad ways.
It's been three years since my dear Julie passed.. this passage fits so proper...
If I could only have you near

Beautifully and brilliantly performed.
Sarah: Your voice is beyond comprehension, hauntingly beautiful. It is captivating and so soothing to the soul.
Thank you ….JB
Thank you Joe. Until the day I pass she is my favorite. Ever.
Like cheap fake cheese. If you like dollar store mac and cheese, then yes.
I couldn't have said it better myself.

Always brings me into the Christmas Spirit!!. Calm, enchanting and peaceful!! Thanks Sarah for your giving.
Beautiful verson of this song.Gordon has left us but his songs live on
Today is Friday October 13th, 2023 and this is officially my FIRST Christmas song this year.

Well stated, Vivien! 🎄❄️
Heavenly Father 😢Thank you. In name of JESUS CHRIST. AMEN
This is a Beautiful song!
Beautiful song! Beautiful voice!
Brothers and Sisters brought me here. Gorgeous haunting melancholic song.
I love this song to death and will listen to it on repeat, but damn it, it's also the only song that consistently makes me wish I wasn't single at Christmas!
I heard this song the first Christmas after my nephew died from a drug overdose my heart breaks each time I hear it 💔❤️🩹
I am so sorry for your loss. We have lost so many to a poisoned drug supply. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Beautiful ❤M
wow!! never knew thus was from 94. I love it. One of my favorites from that album. 😊😋😍😚
A recycled version featured in Due South
This song is 50 years old. Listen to Gordon Lightfoot’s version from his Gord’s Gold album. Great music is great forever
So true, love it 💕
@@catherineconover54 So very very true...!
Very beautiful song
I love this song!!
This song sends me somewhere beyond. To paraphrase the Beach Boys, "I don't know where, but it sends me there . . ." What a masterpiece!
My favorite Christmas song
Just beautiful
To someone I thought I knew a long time ago.
Love Love this song 💖💖
This song is so beautiful
beautiful song and woman.
A great remake of a great Gordon Lightfoot tune. It was actually written in a Cleveland hotel room! Beautiful sound.
and during a summer rainstorm according to Gord!
I'm breathless.Hold steady your heart.
Touches my soul
Love this song , when i hear this song always feel a peace and feel like m just dreaming. Thank u Sarah nd love u a lot❤️

Beautiful! Thank you!
Here for my 2021 Xmas season listening pleasure.
Same :)
Wonderful

So conforting.AMEN
This is quite good.
Beautiful
Best Christmas song love to play song to my babies 💕❣️💕❣️so much meaning to me
I love this song!
sarah u r incredible!! I love every song u sing.. ur voice is enchanting
I'm so grateful that you, Sarah, made of your voice a paradise for all of us to hear.
PeAce in her voice
AMAZING SONG I LOVE HER
How can you people say that this is a crapy cover. Man I get it, no one on here has been thinking of some one that they've lost or longed for in the winter time? Wow, I'm a rare breed. Some just haven't lived long enough, or suffered. Sad really. Anyway the song's the bomb.
Yeah it is the bomb by Gordon Lightfoot she moans a lot of her stuff , this included .
Laura Powell Yeah that’s what ultimately turned me off McLacan. It was cool in the beginning but then all her singing became the same.
Didn't know it was one, but, it's beautiful.
I do love her voice, but she is definitely "moaning" a bit much in this one. There's nothing like the original in this case.
We cant give all you need, another song. I like to listen
Love this version of the Gordon Lightfoot classic.
sublime !!!!!!!
I'll always love this song because of Debbie.
beautiful
Absolutely beautiful ❤️.
Nice...Gords' is still my favorite version.
Beautiful!!!....:)
Excellent storyteller.
This is my perfect winter sentiment, good or bad, mostly bad and sad
I think she gives more, Be who you are. No more no less
For some reason this makes me feel like crying.
Hermosa canción! :)
very nice
Maybe it was a dream,but when I heard your song,I didn't want to wake up.
Good job!!!
Amezing song romantic
a beautiful cover: your voice is wonderful and very emotional
Amo esta música!
Buy this album. No, I do not have stock in Sarah. It is wonderful.
LYRICS
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The snow is softly fallin'
The air is still in the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly callin'
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter's night with you
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon each page
The words of love you sent me
If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter's night with you
The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are liftin'
The mornin' light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are driftin'
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter's night with you
And to be once again with with you
For three years I have slept in my truck while I work in Vancouver
Supporting my family on
Vancouver Island.
Music keeps me going on these winter nights
So far away I am held close to the one I love
Dulce melancolía invernal..
I. LOVE. YOUR.
Merry Christmas....Annie :)
Ilove the't ^ - ^
RIP Gordon Lightfoot🙏

2018 here....✌✌✌
