    Sarah McLachlan - Song for a Winter's Night

    Her version of Gordon Lightfoot's song is just haunting..

    The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top

    The snow is softly falling

    The air is still within 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

    Upon this winter 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

    Upon this winter night with you

    The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim

    The shades of night are liftin'

    The morning 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

    Upon this winter night with you

    And to be once again with with you

    And,

    Gabriel's Message - Marillion

    Words are traditional

    The angel Gabriel from heaven came

    His wings as drifted snow

    His eyes as flame

    From God all hail the angel said to Mary

    Most highly favoured lady

    Gloria

    "Fear not for you shall bear a holy child

    By him to God be reconciled

    His name shall be Emmanuel

    The long-foretold"

    Most highly favoured lady

    Gloria

    Then gentle Mary humbly bowed her head

    "To me be as it pleaseth God" she said

    "My soul shall praise and magnify his Holy name"

    Most highly favoured lady

    Gloria

    And so she said "How happy I shall be

    All generations will remember me

    For God has kept his promises to Israel"

    Most highly favoured lady

    Gloria

    Of her Emmanuel the Christ was born

    On Bethlehem upon that Christmas morn

    And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say

    Most highly favoured lady

    Gloria
