1. A spaceman came travelling in 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.
2. 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.
3. And 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 : "Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala,
C G F GF G a G Am
peace and goodwill to all men, ---- and love for the child.
- - - - -
And it went :" Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala."
4. This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
and many were waken on hearing that sound,
and travellers on the road, the village they found,
by the light of that star in the sky ---- which shone on now.
5. 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 have gone by,
this song will begin once again ---- to a baby`s cry!"
- - -
And it went : "Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
this song will begin once again ---- to a baby`s cry."
- - -
And it goes :"Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
peace and goodwill to all men, -----and love for the child.
Oh, the whole world is waiting.
Lalalala..... waiting to hear this song again,
spacemen are standing on the edge of the world,
and the star is glowing somewhere in eternity,
This song will begin once again ---- to a baby`s cry."
