[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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
