A Spaceman Came Travelling

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar
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 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

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 ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
La ah ah ah ah ah ah
La ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child
La ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
La ah ah ah ah ah ah
La ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
La la la la la la la

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 ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
La ah ah ah ah ah ah
La ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child

La ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
La ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
La ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child
