G                                               D
There's a pine tree in a window in a house on a hill
                                        G
With a tree top angel sitting perfectly still
                            G7               C
She's watching the shoppers walk through the snow
                          G           D           G
With their arms full of treasures and hearts all aglow

CHORUS
        C                                     G
We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree
                                                  D
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for me
         G                      G7        C 
When the angel on the treetop requested a song
               G     D       G
We sang Silent Night all day long

There is 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 everybody is saying their prayers.

REPEAT CHORUS

G                                                    D
There's a room out there somewhere with a woman in a chair
                                           G
With memories of childhood still lingering there
                          G7             C
How pretty the paper, the lights and the snow
                   G           D         G      
How precious those memories of long long ago.

CHORUS
        C                                     G
We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree
                                                  D
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for me
         G                       G7       C 
When the angel on the treetop requested a song
               G     D       G
We sang Silent Night all day long

ENDING:
           C                               G
When the angel on the treetop requested a song
                     D       G   
We sang Silent Night all day long
