?[00:09.40]They got Christmas Muzak
[00:12.11]Piped in through the ceiling
[00:15.65]And the refills of coffee
[00:18.35]Are always for free
[00:21.77]And the waitress on graveyard
[00:24.16]And the surly night manager
[00:28.16]Are wishing that all of us losers would leave
[00:35.92]There’s a star on the sign
[00:38.81]At the Texaco Station
[00:41.30]Like the star long ago
[00:44.40]On that midnight clear
[00:48.54]As I look all around
[00:51.36]At these cold empty faces
[00:55.45]I doubt that you'd find many wise men here
[01:01.06]And I'm dreaming about
[01:05.20]A silent night Holy Night
[01:09.44]When things were alright
[01:12.20]And I'm dreaming about
[01:14.17]How my life could have been
[01:17.23]If only if only if only
[01:23.78]But somewhere down the road
[01:26.57]I gave up that fight
[01:31.79]Merry Christmas
[01:35.04]It's Christmas at Denny's tonight
[01:47.21]Once I had a home
[01:49.53]And a wife and a daughter
[01:53.30]Had a company job
[01:55.66]Earning middle class pay
[01:59.38]Then Lisa got killed
[02:02.88]By a car near the schoolyard
[02:05.37]And my wife started drinking
[02:07.87]Just to get through each day
[02:13.55]I will never forget
[02:16.38]That little red wagon
[02:19.16]Turning to rust
[02:21.19]All alone in the rain
[02:26.06]One morning I flagged down
[02:29.06]A truck on the highway
[02:30.97]I just couldn't bear
[02:33.21]To go back there again
[02:37.73]And I'm dreaming about
[02:42.76]A silent night Holy night
[02:47.48]When things were alright
[02:51.25]And I'm dreaming about
[02:52.05]How my life could have been
[02:54.61]If only if only if only
[03:01.90]Well it's not just the blind man
[03:04.98]Who loses his sight
[03:09.70]Merry Christmas
[03:13.06]It's Christmas at Denny's tonight
[03:20.84]They say
[03:23.54]Life's made of cruel circumstance
[03:28.03]Fate plays the tune and we dance
[03:33.13]Dance til we drop
[03:35.95]In the dust and we're gone
[03:37.60]And the world just goes on
[04:05.39]The cop at the counter
[04:06.85]He's the guardian angel
[04:10.87]He watches these orphans
[04:13.25]Through dark mirrored shades
[04:16.73]And the register rings
[04:19.03]Like a bell sadly tolling
[04:22.86]For the fools we've become
[04:25.44]And the price that we paid
[04:31.54]Oh when I was a boy
[04:34.04]I believed in Christmas
[04:37.23]Miracle season
[04:39.19]To make a new start
[04:44.22]I don't need no miracle
[04:47.18]Sweet baby Jesus
[04:48.98]Just help me find
[04:50.73]Some kind of hope in my heart
[04:57.38]And I'm dreaming about
[05:01.23]A silent night Holy night
[05:05.65]When things were alright
[05:09.67]And I'm dreaming about
[05:10.34]How my life could have been
[05:13.03]If only if only if only
[05:20.70]But I'll still be here
[05:22.75]At the morning's first light
[05:26.94]Merry Christmas
[05:31.66]It's Christmas at Denny's tonight
[05:38.24]Merry Christmas
[05:42.37]It's Christmas at Denny's tonight
