[Verse 1]
On a winter's [Dm]night,
stars are cold and bright in the [G]sky,
The [Am]slumber [G]of the [F]earth is pure
and [Em]deep[Am]
From a distant wood,
[Dm]drifts the echo of a beast[G]
The [Am]old man stirs an
[F]d wakens in the night
[Dm]He stands before his window
[C]gazing at [Am]the grave
[Dm]Forgotten dreams are flashing
[C]through his weary mind
[Dm]And though his life is empty,
[Bb]he p[C]retend[Bb]s that she's still there[Am][C][D]
[Em][D][G][G#dim]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
With hunger in his soul,
[Dm]he yearns for life and love gone[G] by,
[Am]With memories his [F]one and only [Am]joy
All he has to give,
[Dm]he would give to bring back [G]the life,
And [Am]raise the one [F]who lies
beneath the snow
[Dm]He lights a lamp and looks at
[C]pictures of [Am]the past
[Dm]The faces of their youth still
[C]glow with new-found love,
[Dm]love,
But the picture's faded,
[Bb]and time has stolen youth away[Am][Bm]
[C]Wit[D]h

[Verse 3]
[Em]a[F#m][G][G#dim][Am][Bm][Am][Dm][Em][D][G][E]
[Am]spok[F]en word that he thou[C]ght he heard from her lips,
He [Dm]felt another [Bb]presence in [F]the room,
[Esus4][E][Am]
He was [F]filled with fear but
[C]filled with joy he arose
And [Dm]turned to face the [Bb]image
that he [Am]knew[D][Dm]
[Bb]She stood before him and
[C]her hand reached out for [F]his
[C]A p[A]eaceful light shone in her eyes[Dm]
[C]She said she'd come to soothe him[Bb], and som[Am]eday they'd be as [D]one[Bb]

[Verse 4]
She began [Dm]to fade and
her image disappeared,
[G]So he [Am]was left alone to
[F]face [Am]the night,
Never in his life,
[Dm]had he been so held in a[G]we,
As he [Am]faced the appar[F]ition of his wife
[Dm]He stood before the window
[C]gazing at the grave,
[Dm]And with a lightened heart he saw[C]
the first [Dm]of dawn,
He knew that she was [Bb]waiting, that [Bb]someday they'd be as
[Am]one[Am][D]
