A Spaceman Came Travelling歌詞

a spaceman came travelling
on his ship from far
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 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...
peace and good will to all men
and love for the child
La...
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...
peace and good will to all men
and love for the child
La...
