A Spaceman Came Travelling
Burgh Chris De Lyrics

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar
An astronaut traveled through space from far away

'Twas light years of time since his mission did start
It had been many years since he began his mission

And over a village, he halted his craft
He stopped his spacecraft above a village

And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star
The spacecraft shone in the sky like a star

He followed a light and came down to a shed
He saw a light and landed near a shed

Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed
A mother and child were sleeping in the shed

A bright light of silver shone round his head
A silver light shone around his head

And he had the face of an angel and they were afraid
He looked like an angel and scared them

Then the stranger spoke, he said, do not fear
The stranger told them not to be afraid

I come from a planet a long way from here
He came from a planet far away

And I bring a message for mankind to hear
He had a message for all people to hear

And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air
Beautiful music filled the space

And it went la la la la la la la la la
The music went like 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 la la, la la la la la la la

Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child
He wished for peace, love, and goodwill to all people, especially the child

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, oh
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, oh

This lovely music went trembling through the ground
The beautiful music caused the earth to shake

And many were awakened on hearing that sound
Many people woke up from the sound of the music

And travelers on the road
People traveling on the road

The village they found by the light of that ship in the sky
They found the village by the light of the spacecraft in the sky

Which shone all around
The spacecraft shone brightly

And just before dawn at the paling of the sky
Just before dawn at sunrise

The stranger returned and said, now I must fly
The astronaut said he had to leave

When two thousand years of your time has gone by
In 2,000 years from now

This song will begin once again to a baby's cry
The same song will play again when a baby is born

And it goes la la la la la la la la la
The song goes like 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 la la, la la la la la la la

This song will begin once again to a baby's cry
The same song will play again when a baby is born

And it went la la la la la la la la la
The song went like 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 la la, la la la la la la la

Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child
He wished for peace, love, and goodwill to all people, especially the child

Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again (la la la la la la la la la)
The whole world is waiting to hear the song again

There are thousands standing on the edge of the world (la la la la la la la la la)
Thousands of people are waiting eagerly

And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here (la la la la la la la la la)
A star is moving and the time is almost here

This song will begin once again to a baby's cry
The same song will play again when a baby is born
