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 swaddling 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 savior 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 came
With gold and myrrh and frankinsence to praise the newborn king
And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship him
One upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem
Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
