Once Upon a Christmas Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)

Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
Mary being great with child had no place to lie down
So Joseph found a stable in which Mary had her child
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ.

Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away
A King was born his palace was a manger filled with hay
His royal robe was swadding cloth a halo was his crown
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem.

And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
A saviour had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that he was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ.

Once upon a Christmas from the Far East wise men cameKenny Rogers - Once Upon a Christmas - http://motolyrics.com/kenny-rogers/once-upon-a-christmas-lyrics.html
With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn King
And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship him
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem.

And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
A saviour had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that he was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ.

And the joyful news that he was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ.
