A Silent Night With You
Tori Amos · Other Songs - Tori Amos
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 bells 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
