Lyrics The Allure of Silence - Audra McDonald

The Allure of Silence

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
