[Intro]
G C G D G
[Verse 1]
There's a Gpine tree in a window in a house on a Dhill
With a tree top angel sitting perfectly Gstill
She's watching the shoppers walk through the Csnow
With their Carms full of Gtreasures and their Dhearts all aGglow
[Chorus]
We held Chands and stared at the lights on the Gtree
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for Dme
When the Gangel on the treetop requested a Csong
We sang CSilent GNight Dall day Glong
[Verse 2]
There's a Gfamily that's gathering in some living Droom
Dinner on the table that's been cooking since Gnoon
The stockings on the mantle are hanging with Ccare
While Cevery Gbody is Dsaying a Gprayer
[Chorus]
We held Chands and stared at the lights on the Gtree
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for Dme
When the Gangel on the treetop requested a Csong
We sang CSilent GNight Dall day Glong
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
There's a Groom out there somewhere with a woman in a Dchair
With memories of childhood still lingering Gthere
How pretty the paper, the lights and the Csnow
How precious those Gmemories of Dlong long aGgo
[Chorus]
We held Chands and stared at the lights on the Gtree
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for Dme
When the Gangel on the treetop requested a Csong
We sang CSilent GNight Dall day Glong
[Outro]
When the Cangel on the treetop requested a Gsong
We sang GSilent Night Call day Glong
