The Allure of Silence - Audra McDonald

We’re looking out the window

Watching lazy snowflakes fall

Without any plans at all

We’re lying near the fire

Shadows dancing all around

And nobody makes a sound

Words intertwined are suspended in the quiet air

Conversations that dissolve without a care

Sheltered and sure, we yield to the allure of silence

An argument forgotten

With the gesture of a smile

Surrendering for a while

Surrendering for a while

For a while

Words intertwined are suspended in the quiet air

Conversations that dissolve without a care

Sheltered and sure, we yield to the allure of silence

We warm the chilly winter

With the friction of our skin

Feeding the fire within

We’ll keep tomorrow out of view

'Cause all I want is to be with you

My one true love
