^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ tacet 1st time

Verse 1:

Lookin' from my window

Fmaj7/

At the freshly fallen snow

That sparkles as it tumbles

Fmaj7/

Upon the street below

And the crackle of the fire

Is laughing in my ear

And the room is warm and sleepy

I wish you could be here

[repeat second half of intro]

Verse 2:

Sundays in this town

There's not a lot for me to do

I've been listening to some records

But my thoughts have turned to you

I try to read the paper

But the words aren't very clear

And I know there's something missing

I wish you could be here

I wish you could be here

[repeat intro]

[key change to Ab - acoustic guitars remain in G (capo I)]

I keep listening for your footsteps

F#maj7/

Or your key turned in the door

I sure could use your company

But we've been through that before

The winter's going to last

A long time this year

I've got lots of empty time to kill

I wish you could be here

I wish you could be here

I wish you could be here

[repeat intro (in Ab) to fade]
