The wind is creepin' across the mountains 
The moon is nowhere in sight 
Gone is the voice 
I'm used to hearing 
Oh, what a silent night 
The telephone's been disconnected 
But she wouldn't call me anyway 
But even if she did, 
I wouldn't answer '
Cause there's not one word left to say 
She told me, she was disenchanted 
She needed those big city lights 
Well, I loved her and 
I told her, her wish was granted 
Oh, what a silent night 
I sit here, feelin' my heart breaking 
I think I felt a teardrop fall 
I listen for the sound my heart is making 
But it don't make no sound at all 
And I wonder just how long 
I'll miss her 
Will my hair be black or white 
God, I'd give my soul to kiss her 
Oh, what a silent night 
She told me, she was disenchanted 
She needed those big city lights 
Well, I loved her and 
I told her, her wish was granted 
Oh, what a silent night 
Oh, what a silent night
