Sleep despite all those bad dreams-eams
Sleep despite all those bad dreams,

Silent night a marriage that's not right
All seems calm but my throat is tight
Spirit of heartache closes in on this night
Trying to hold back tears with all of my might,

Sleep despite all those bad dreams-eams
Sleep despite all those bad dreams,

Silent night no answers in sight
No way to escape this endless night
Phantoms of regret just tug at my sleeve
Wondering why my woman chose to leave,

Sleep despite all those bad dreams-eams
Sleep despite all those bad dreams,

Silent night might as well fly a kite
I've become a stranger to delight
On this lonely but holy night
From all of my family not one invite,

Sleep despite those bad dreams-eams
Sleep despite all those bad dreams
Christmas is not all that it seems-eems
Thank God if you still have your dreams.
