Sarah McLachlan - Wintersong
I thought that since it's getting near Christmas time it would be a good time to post
song. Merry Christmas and enjoy!
*When Sarah plays this song on the piano, she usually hits each chord in the verse about
times. However, on Bm's, she usually hits that 3 times and then changes to a D before
to the next chord, so it looks like this: (Bm)(Bm)(Bm)(D). I've indicated where this
with an asterisk *. You can decide whether you like better playing with or without this.

It’s late and morning’s in no hurry
G Bm*
But sleep won’t set me free
Em C
I lie awake and try to recall

How your body felt beside me
C Em
When silence gets too hard to handle
C D
And the night too long
G C G
And this is how I see you
C D Em
In the snow on Christmas morning

Love and happiness surround you

As you throw your arms up to the sky

I keep this moment by and by

Oh how I miss you now, my love

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas,

Merry Christmas, my love

Sense of joy fills the air

And I daydream and I stare

Up at the tree and I see

Your star up there

And this is how I see you

In the snow on Christmas morning

Love and happiness surround you

As you throw your arms up to the sky

I keep this moment by and by
