Silent Night All Day Long Lyrics
by John Prine
Intro:
__G___________________________C________________G_____D___G___
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 just for you and for me.
When the angel on the treetop requested a song.
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:
Instrumental
__G___________________________C________________G_____D___G___
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:
Ending:
When the angel on the treetop requested a song.
We sang Silent Night all day long
