The wind is creepin' across the mountains

The moon is nowhere in sight

Gone is the voice I'm used to hearing

Oh, what a silent night

The telephone's been disconnected

But she wouldn't call me anyway

But even if she did, I wouldn't answer

'Cause there's not one word left to say

She told me, she was disenchanted

She needed those big city lights

Well, I loved her and I told her

Her wish was granted

Oh, what a silent night

I sit here feelin' my heart breaking

I think I felt a teardrop fall

I listen for the sound my heart is making

But it don't make no sound at all

And I wonder just how long I'll miss her

Will my hair be black or white?

God, I'd give my soul to kiss her

Oh, what a silent night

She told me, she was disenchanted

She needed those big city lights

Well, I loved her and I told her

Her wish was granted

Oh, what a silent night

Oh, what a silent night
