A Spaceman Came Travelling (89)

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from a-far It was 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 laying 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 Come from a planet a long way from here And I bring a message from mankind to hear" And 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 good will 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 La la la la, la la la This lovely music went trembling through the ground And many were wakened on hearing the sound And travellers on the road the village were found By the light of that ship in the sky which shone 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 The 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 Peace and good will 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 La la la la, la la la The song will begin once again to a baby's cry The song will begin once again to a baby's cry
