Intro: 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 their hearts all aglow We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree As if Christmas was invented just 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 gathering in some living room Dinner on the table that's been cooking since noon The stockings on the mantle are hanging with care While every body is saying a prayer We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree As if Christmas was invented just for you and for me When the angel on the treetop requested a song We sang Silent Night all day long Instrumental 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 We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree As if Christmas was invented just for you and for me When the angel on the treetop requested a song We sang Silent Night all day long Outro When the angel on the treetop requested a song We sang Silent Night all day long
