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

Why should the world take notice

Of one more love that's failed.

It's a love that could never be

Though it meant a lot to you and me.

On a worldwide scale,

'Twas just another winter's tale.

​

Whilst I stand alone

A bell is ringing far away.

I wonder if you hear,

I wonder if you're 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 could never be

Though it meant a lot to you and me.

On a worldwide scale,

'Twas 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 could never be

(Slowing)

Though it meant a lot to you and me.

On a worldwide scale,

'Twas just another winter's...

​

(faster)

...Worldwide scale,

'Twas just another winter's tale.
