A Spaceman Came Travelling

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 a 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"
 Suddenly, the sweetest music
 Filled the air
 And it went
 La-la-la-la, la-la-la la-la-la
 La-la-la-la la-la-la
 La-la-la-la, la-la-la la-la-la
 Peace and a goodwill to all men
 And love for the child
 
 La-la-la-la, la-la-la la-la-la
 La-la-la-la la-la-la
 La-la-la-la, la-la-la la-la-la
 Oh-oh-oh
 ♪
 This lovely music went trembling through the ground
 And many were wakened on hearing that sound
 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-la-la, la-la-la la-la-la
 La-la-la-la la-la-la
 La la-la-la, la-la-la la-la-la
 This song will begin once again
 To a baby's cry
 And it goes
 La-la-la-la, la-la-la la-la-la
 La-la-la-la la-la-la (oh-oh-oh-oh)
 La-la-la-la, la-la-la la-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
