| Lyrics: | A SPACEMAN CAME TRAVELLING
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 star, just like a star...
He followed a light
and came down to a shed,
Where a mother 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, 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,
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 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 that 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...
