A baby beneath a midnight sky
Peacefully sleeping in the hay
A mother with a hushed word of thanks
In the still of the starlight as she prays

But it was not a silent night
Not a silent night
Angels were singing everywhere
It was not a silent night
Not a silent night
There was celebration in the air
Oh-oh, yeah

A small town resting in the dark
So unaware and undisturbed
Ooh, the shepherds
Oh, the shepherds in a calm field alone
Finding it hard to say a word

But it was not a silent night
Not a silent night
Angels wеre singing everywhеre
It was not a silent night
Not a silent night
There was celebration in the air
Yeah, yeah
It all looked serene to the naked eye
But there was rejoicing up in the sky

Not a silent night
Not a silent night
Angels were singing everywhere, yeah
It was not a silent night
Not a silent night
There was celebration, yeah
(It's a celebration)

Not a silent night
Not a silent night
Angels were singing everywhere
(Angels singing everywhere)
It was not a silent night
Not a silent night
There was celebration in the air, oh...

Not a silent night
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Not a silent night

Not a silent night
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Not a silent night...
