Noel is a 2004 Christmas-themed drama film written by David Hubbard and directed by Chazz Palminteri. It stars Susan Sarandon, Penélope Cruz, Paul Walker, Alan Arkin, Daniel Sunjata and an uncredited Robin Williams. It was filmed in Montreal, Canada.
The film centers on five strangers who are linked together – and who meet each other at separate times – by a series of events that take place on Christmas Eve in New York.
The main character is Rose (Susan Sarandon), a woman who is struggling to cope with caring for her mother, an Alzheimer's patient. Meanwhile, Nina (Penélope Cruz) and Mike (Paul Walker) are a young couple on the verge of breaking up due to Mike's increasingly jealous behavior. Elsewhere, Artie (Alan Arkin) is an old waiter who searches for his deceased wife every Christmas Eve. Finally, Jules (Marcus Thomas) is a young man who deliberately damages his hand so he can attend a Christmas party in the emergency room, as that was the only happy memory of his childhood. In addition to the five main characters, the mysterious Charlie (Robin Williams) is introduced as the person who may be able to help Rose finally realize that she must look after herself more, rather than worrying about everyone else.

Genres: ,I'm on fire, my emotions run so deep
You vowed to love me, iIs that a vow you keep?
Your smile is so tender, you've got me in your sweet surrender
your touch is so easy, makes me warm inside, makes me feel I'm alive
I can't resist your heavenly bliss the magic concealed in your kiss
You must realize, what I see in your eyes, takes me beyond the sky...
Silent Morning, I wake up and you're not by my side,
Silent Morning, you know how hard I try
Silent Morning, they say a man not supposed to cry
Silent Morning, why did your love have to be lie
I'm on fire, and you're my every desire
A living fantasy, and you know just what to do for me
Our love could be so true, here open arms waiting here for you
A welcome whisper
Makes me warm inside
Makes me feel I'm alive
And I can't resist the heavenly bliss
The magic concealed in your kiss
You must realize what I see in your eyes
Takes me beyond the skies
(chorus)
And I can't resist heavenly bliss
Magic concealed in your kiss
You must realize what I see in your eyes
Takes me to paradise
(chorus)
