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