How wondrous the woods on a wintry night
The treetops washed in silver light
How peaceful the hill and valleys below
Sleeping beneath a blanket of snow

How sweet the silence
How sacred the hush
How perfect the stillness
I've yearned for so much
How sweet the silence
Oh nightfall divine
That grants me comfort in
Troubled times

How thoughtful the stars to watch over me
And the moon to keep me company
How gentle the wind that scatters my prayer
For all my brothers and sisters out there

How sweet the silence
How sacred the hush
How perfect the stillness
I've yearned for so much
How sweet the silence
Oh nightfall divine
That grants me comfort in
Troubled times

How sweet the silence
How sacred the hush
How perfect the stillness
I've yearned for so much
How sweet the silence
Oh nightfall divine
That grants me comfort in
Troubled times

How softly the whitetail steps on the ground
How sweet the silence I have found
