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
