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



There's a family thats gathered in some living room

Dinner on the table that's been cooking since noon

Stockings on the mantle are hanging with care

While every body is saying a prayer



repeat chorus



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.



repeat chorus



When the angel on the treetop requested a song.

We sang Silent Night all day long
