John Prine - Silent Night All Day Long lyrics

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 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 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 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. 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 When the angel on the treetop requested a song. We sang Silent Night all day long
