lyrics

winter moonlight pale through the window midnight hour chimes in the hall
and as the fire burns low so the shadows flicker quietly upon the wall

in the church the choir were singing softly for a still small voice of calm
and in the bedroom mother’s praying dearly so that her angels don’t come to harm

in the garden the moonlight is reflected from a frost lying on the lawn
and on the cobwebs hanging undetected shining quietly into the dawn

now in the firelight trying to remember all the faces I used to know
in a dorm room on a cold night in december lying in this same moon’s glow

of the children safe and asleep around me some are married and one is gone
as the embers glow dimly through the darkness still the quiet moon keeps shining on

sing a soft tune for the quiet moon
