From the recording Silent Night - Single
Lyrics
Well, it looks like Christmas is here
Was kind of hoping that it wouldn't show up this year
'Cause for me, celebrating just doesn't seem right
When all I've got is a silent night.
Seems like everyone has got somewhere to be
I hear them making plans with their families
And it's all I can do not to break down and cry
As I sit here alone on this silent night
No amount of cheer is gonna lift my head
And the lights and decorations remind me instead
Of what it is that I don't have to go home to
So please don't ask me what I want for a gift
'cause there's really only one thing on my list
And I know there's not a chance that it's what I'm gonna get
So thank you for the wishes for a happy holiday
And if I was in a better place, I'd believe it when you say
"Merry Christmas," but for me, merry's far out of sight
And the only sound is my breaking heart
On this silent night.
