"A Spaceman Came Travelling" Lyrics

A spaceman came travelling 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 start,just like a star...

He followed a light and came down to a shed,
Wherea moher and a child were lying there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angle ,and they were afraid...

Then the stranger spoke, said'do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankid 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 love music went trembling trough the ground,
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
And travellers on the road,the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all round

And just before dawn At he 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 wen 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...
