A Spaceman Came Travelling Lyrics

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar
'Twas light years of time since his mission did start
And over a village he halted his craft
And it hung in the sky like a star
Just like a star -----

He followed a light and came down to a shed
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed
A bright light of silver shone round his head
And he had the face of an angel
And they were afraid -----

Then the stranger spoke
He said, "Do not fear
I come from a planet a long way from here
And I bring a message for mankind to hear"
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air ----

And it went la la ------
Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child ------

This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were wakened on hearing that sound
( From: http://www.elyrics.net )
And travelers on the road
The village they found by the light of that ship in the sky
Which shone all around -----

And just before dawn
At the paling of the sky
The stranger returned and said, "Now I must fly
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry --"
And it went la la ------
This song will begin once again
To a baby's cry ----
And it goes la la ----
Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child ----

Oh the whole world is waiting
Waiting to hear the song again
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world
And a star is moving somewhere
The time is nearly here
This song will begin once again
To a baby's cry ----
