Silent Nights

This time of year when it gets cold
I can't remember how it felt
To know you were the one to hold
Just to know you made sense
This time of year

Now I'm old
I know you were the one I told
"Life should never be this fun"
All the signs said you're the one

So this is Christmas
How pretty the lights are
How lonely the nights are

The loveliest winter
Sweet but, so bitter
I won't have you
I won't have you

No solace in my solitude
Now there's nothing here for you
Not a gift and not a card
Not a kind word from my heart

There's nothing in sharing
No hope in me singing
"Silent night, holy night"
When the nights are so silent
The nights are so silent

Now you've stopped trying
The wish list I'll stop writing
The wish won't come true
I won't have you

So this is Christmas
How pretty the lights are
How lonely the nights are

The loveliest winter
Sweet, but so bitter
I won't have you
I won't have you
