Spaceman came driving on his ship from afar T'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 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-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 love to all men And love for a child La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh This lovely music went trembling through the ground And many were awakened on hearing the sound And travellers on the road the village they found But light of that ship in the sky Would shine all around And just before dawn at the paling of the sky The stranger returned and said now I must fly And 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 The song will begin once again To a baby's cry 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 Peace and goodwill to all men And love for a child 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 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 The song will begin once again To a baby's cry
