Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
He followed a light and came down to a shed
Where a mother and child 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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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 goodwill to all men
And love for the child
[Verse 5]
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 round
[Verse 6]
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"
[Verse 7]
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 goodwill to all men
[Verse 8]
And it goes 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
