Silent Silent Night Lyrics

Back when I was nineteen, Christmas rolled around,

House was empty, not a soul to be found.

A tree in the corner, lights and tinsel aglow,

But it was just me there, with nowhere to go.

One present under the tree, from good ol' Santa to me,

A childhood dream, now just a memory.

Left alone on Christmas, sadness filled my heart,

Daddy could've tried harder, but we were all apart.

Mom was in rehab, fighting her own fight,

Brothers and sister, lost in their own lives.

No girlfriend to hold, just eggnog in my hand,

Snow on the ground, but no snowman to stand.

One present under the tree, from good ol' Santa to me,

A childhood dream, now just a memory.

Left alone on Christmas, sadness filled my heart,

Daddy could've tried harder, but we were all apart.

No laughter, no joy, just a house full of sighs,

A Christmas tree but no water to keep it alive.

Dreams of happy days, now just faded scenes,

That holiday's sorrow, still lingers in between.

Staring at the lights, thinking of times gone by,

When Christmas meant family, love, and lullabies.

But there I was, alone in that cold, empty space,

Wishing for my kin, in that lonely place.

One present under the tree, from good ol' Santa to me,

A childhood dream, now just a memory.

Left alone on Christmas, sadness filled my heart,

Daddy could've tried harder, but we were all apart.

So I held onto hope, that the pain would fade,

And maybe next Christmas, wouldn't feel so dismayed.

For now, I remember, that silent, silent night,

Hoping for Dawn to break, to bring me a new life.

Bring me a new life.

Bring me a new life.

Please bring me a new life.
