In the silence of the night, shadows start to creep,

Whispers of the memories, echo when I sleep.

Decorated streets, but my heart's in disarray,

Merry Christmas to the world, but I'm lost in yesterday.

Lights twinkle, but they light another's face.

Oh, merry Christmas, let the cold winds blow,

Underneath the mistletoe, I stand here alone.

With every carol sung, I feel the aching pain,

Merry Christmas to the world, but I’m lost in the rain.

Snow falls gently on the empty city square,

Laughter all around me, but it’s hard to bear.

I raise a glass to the ghosts of what we had,

Merry Christmas to the world, but it only feels so sad.

Wishing on a star, but it never hears my call.

Oh, merry Christmas, let the cold winds blow,

Underneath the mistletoe, I stand here alone.

With every carol sung, I feel the aching pain,

Merry Christmas to the world, but I’m lost in the rain.

In this moody, darkened night, I’ll find my way,

Merry Christmas to all, I’ll be okay.
