Shoulda took a little time for life
So you think, I'm crazy 'cause I feel this way
'Cause loneliness is no repayment for sacrifice
As I'm lyin' alone in my bed, on this silent night
I shoulda put a little more in the life
Just happy to be
It was quite the show
In my mind, I see the wind blow through your hair
Now I think about you with desire
And my heart's still full of fire, on this silent night
I'm gonna send this message through, I was wrong to run
I send this message through, I was wrong to run
I wear this badge of sorrow but how was I to know
We were lucky and wild back then
I send this message through, I was wrong to run
You're my one stone true regret
I found the truth comes easy when you live in the light
Gonna pick myself up off the ground
'Cause loneliness is no repayment for sacrifice
'Cause loneliness is no repayment for sacrifice
I say a little prayer for you on this silent night
We just stuck to each other
I'm doin' time in paradise, on this silent night
I remember how we touched, we were young in love
And I'll turn it around, on this silent night
I heard you had two kids, got married
I guess it's time to say good-bye, on this silent night
Like the earth sticks to the sun
I left you sleepin' on the motel road
Well how you been? Well, baby you could say
I have a photograph of you and I somewhere
Painting pictures of the life that we would share
It was easy as one, two, three
I'm doin' time in paradise, on this silent night
I've been lonely too
Yeah, I say a little prayer for you on this silent night
Shoulda took a little time for life
I've been pickin' up the pieces ever since the day
Yeah, you taught me how to laugh, I learned how to cry
I say a little prayer for you on this silent night
I guess it only goes to show
Didn't know what was wrong or right
