Lyrics First Noël - Dolly Parton

So many times in my life, I think back on the days of my childhood
(Now they were some very special times)
(But none were ever as special as the memories of Christmas in the Smokey Mountains)
(Well I could close my eyes right now)
(And I can still see that lil′ ol' country church just full of neighbor and family and friends)
(I may still hear that country preacher)
(Talkin′ about the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ)
(And I remember how I used to love all those old Christmas songs)
(The first Noël, the angels did say)
(Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay)
(In fields where lay they're keeping their sheep)
(On a cold winter's night that was so deep)
(Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël)
(Born is the King of Israel)
(Noël, Noël)
The first Noël, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter′s night that was so deep
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the king of Israel
For all to see there was a bright star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And through the earth, it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the king of Israel.
