Karliene A Spaceman Came Travelling song lyrics

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
