Lyrics

Long, Long Ago (Public Domain)

Winds through the olive trees softly did blow,
Round little Bethlehem long, long ago.
Sheep on the hillside lay whiter than snow;
Shepherds were watching them, long, long ago.

Then from the happy sky angels bent low,
Singing their songs of joy long, long ago.
For in a manger bed, cradled we know,
Christ came to Bethlehem, long, long ago.
Long long ago.
