ThGere's a pine tree in a window in a house on a hDill
With a tree top angel sitting perfectly stGill
She's watching the shoppers wG7alk through the snCow
With their arms full of treGasures and heDarts all agGlow
Chorus:
We held haCnds and stared at the lights on the trGee
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for Dme.
When the aGngel on the treetop reqG7uested a sCong.
We sang Silent NiGght aDll day loGng
TheGre is a family that's gathering in some living roDom.
Dinner on the table that's been cooking since nGoon.
The stockings on the mantle are haG7nging with cCare.
While everybGody is saDying their praGyers.
Repeat Chorus:

ThGere's a room out there somewhere with a woman in a chDair
With memories of childhood still lingering thGere.
How pretty the paper, the liG7ghts and the sCnow.
How precious those mGemories of loDng long aGgo.
Repeat Chorus:
Ending:
When the anCgel on the treetop requested a soGng.
We sang Silent Night aDll day lGong
