lyrics

Days long gone when snowflakes
Would drip onto our tongues
Singing carols ‘till both our throats were sore
We were so young
Thought there will always be one winter more

The snow’s still yet to come
it’s taking its sweet time
I don’t hear a sound, but even now
Your sweet voice echoes in my ear
But It’s a different type of silent night this year...

Chasing you through the crowd
As we cross the bustling square
Elbow through to the display in the window
I say a prayer
Hope it finds you at the end of where the wind blows

Walking by that window
It’s dark and boarded tight
Now I’m passing through on the avenue
But the crowd has disappeared
It’s a different type of silent night this year...

Thankful for those happy golden days of yore
But what I wouldn’t give to get a couple more
Now I hibernate for the holiday
Try and wait out the storm
But no mitten, no slipper, no roaring fire
Seems to keep me as warm

One less stocking by the fire
One less card on the mantle
wrap your sweater tight over my shoulders
One more candle
As I weather the winter it gets colder

Even Turtle doves
Take flight when it’s too cold
But not every bird will return
I can’t shake the bone-deep ache
Now the future’s so unclear
Without you here
It’s a different type of silent night this year...

Sleep in heavenly peace
