Silent Night, All Day Long Lyrics - A John Prine Christmas - John Prine

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 

Photos 

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
