On a silent night in this lonely town
Push my feet on the cold ground
Why am I runnin'... wish I knew
Fall on my knees to hear the angels sing
But what they're saying ain't gonna bring
You any closer, closer to me
On a silent night the streets ring with the sound
That echoes around and around
It's drowning me out
Just a silent night in the frozen air
There must be carolers somewhere
Singing Peace on Earth, Good will to men
Fall on my knees to hear the angels sing
But what they're saying ain't gonna bring
You any closer, closer to me
On a silent night the streets ring with the sound
That echoes around and around
It's drowning me out
A chorus of rhymes over the telephone lines
A dial tone only reminds me
I'm so far away from you
Red and green and blue
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you
