Silent, Lonely Night
© 2008 Greg C. Brown

Ten years later, another Christmas,
Alone as never before.
It's just a myth that time heals all wounds
As each year hurts a little more.

Sleigh bells ringing, I hear the laughter
Of children without a care.
The sparkling trees with lights all shining
Mean nothing without you here.

CHORUS
The Herald angels all should sing
Of sadness that the season brings
To one who’s lost his Christmas light
And lives a silent, lonely night.

I’m watching folks as they buy presents,
Toy trains and little toy drums.
It’s hard enough to face each morning,
But harder when Christmas comes.

God had reasons for calling you home;
One day I may understand.
For now, I’m hurt and much too selfish
To place my faith in His hands.

CHORUS
The Herald angels all should sing
Of sadness that the season brings
To one who’s lost his Christmas light
And lives a silent, lonely night.

Bridge
I wake each day and go through the motions
Of living life on my own.
It’s cold in June and cold in December
Without your love to warm my home.

CHORUS
The Herald angels all should sing
Of sadness that the season brings
To one who’s lost his Christmas light
And lives a silent, lonely night.

If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.
