Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a pine tree in a window in a house on a hill With a tree top angel sitting perfectly still She's watching the shoppers walk through the snow With their arms full of treasures and hearts all aglow [Chorus] We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree As if Christmas was invented for you and for me When the angel on the treetop requested a song We sang Silent Night All Day Long [Verse 2] There's a family that's gathered in some living room Dinner on the table that's been cooking since noon Stockings on the mantle are hanging with care While everybody is saying a prayer [Chorus] We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree As if Christmas was invented for you and for me When the angel on the treetop requested a song We sang Silent Night All Day Long [Verse 3] There's a room out there somewhere with a woman in a chair With memories of childhood still lingering there How pretty the paper, the lights and the snow How precious those memories of long, long ago [Chorus] We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree As if Christmas was invented for you and for me When the angel on the treetop requested a song We sang Silent Night All Day Long [Refrain] When the angel on the treetop requested a song We sang Silent Night all day long
