Lyrics

Silent Night, All Day Long

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 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

repeat 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.

repeat chorus

When the angel on the treetop requested a song.

We sang Silent Night all day long
