|
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 |
|
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 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 |
|
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 |
|
And many were awakened 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 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 |
|
Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child |
|
And I hear 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 |
|
Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again |
|
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world |
|
And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here |
|
This song will begin once again to a baby's cry |
