Node command not working in git bash terminal on windows

I'm trying to run the node command in my git bash terminal. When I run the node command, nothing happens when I press enter. The $ goes away and it just leaves a blinking cursor on the next line without the >.

My-PC MINGW32 /$ node -vv4.5.0My-PC MINGW32 /$ where nodeC:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exeMy-PC MINGW32 /$ node_

Could someone tell me what the issue could be?

Thanks!!
