Carpenters - Overture (Christmas Portrait) lyrics

Happy Holidays The first Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay tending their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep Refrain Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel They lookèd up and saw a star Shining in the east, beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night Refrain O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight Glory Gloria In excelsios Deo
