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 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 every body is saying a prayer
|
|
[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.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
When the angel on the treetop requested a song.
|
We sang Silent Night all day long
|
