|
Every now and then |
|
I like to pick up the phone |
|
And make a call down memory lane |
|
Well how you been, well baby you could say |
|
I've been lonely too |
|
I've been pickin' up the pieces ever since the day |
|
I left you sleeping on the motel road |
|
I heard you had two kids, got married, it was quite the show |
|
You're my one stone true regret |
|
As I'm lyin' alone in my bed |
|
On this silent night |
|
I say a little prayer for you on this silent night |
|
I send this message through, |
|
I was wrong to run |
|
Shoulda took a little time for life ' |
|
Cause loneliness is no repayment for sacrifice |
|
I'm doin' time in paradise on this silent night |
|
I remember how we touched, we were young in love |
|
Didn't know what was wrong or right |
|
We just stuck to each other like the earth sticks to the sun |
|
You taught me how to laugh, |
|
I learned how to cry |
|
It was easy as one, two, three |
|
We were lucky and wild back then, just happy to be |
|
Now I think about you with desire, and my heart's still full of fire |
|
On this silent night |
|
In my mind |
|
I see the wind blow through your hair |
|
I have a photograph of you and |
|
I somewhere |
|
Painting pictures of the life that we would share |
|
I wear this badge of sorrow, but how was |
|
I to know |
|
I found the truth comes easy when you live in the light |
|
I guess it only goes to show |
|
So you think |
|
I'm crazy 'cause |
|
I feel this way |
|
Gonna pick myself up off the ground and |
|
I'll turn it around |
|
On this silent night |
|
I guess it's time to say good-bye, on this silent night |
