Gregorian - A Spaceman Came Travelling lyrics

A spaceman came traveling On his ship from a far It was light years away Since his mission had start And over a village He halted his craft And it hung in the sky like a star Just like a star. He followed the light Came down to the shed Where a mother and child Where lying there on a bed And a bright light of silver Shone his head And he had the face of an angel And they were afraid. And the stranger spoke He said do not fear I've come from a planet A long way from here And I bring a message From mankind to hear And suddenly the sweetest music Had filled the air. And it went La, la, la Peace and goodwill to all man And love for the child And it went La, la, la Peace and goodwill to all man And love for the child. This lovely music Went trembling through the ground And many were waken On hearing the sound And travelers on the road The village they found By the light of that ship in the sky That 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 The song will begin once again To a baby's cry. And it went La, la, la Peace and goodwill to all man And love for the child.
