The radio plays my holiday faves It takes me back to when our love was new Young lovers pass me by with their glow That used to be us not so long ago You said then "I just want to spend a silent night with you" With you A silent night with you Joy to the world, your arms kept me warm Night after night, in such a cold world Hear the bell strike, old pictures instead Tell me the past is filling my head You said then "I just want to spend a silent night with you" With you A silent night with you The radio plays my holiday faves It takes me back to when our love was new Lost in my daze, you slip past and say "Girl, take my hand, see, nothing has changed Now or then I just want to spend a silent night with you" With you A silent night with you All is calm All is bright.
