Cassandra Steen & Chris de Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling 2009

Released 1975

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar
It 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.

Then a 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 ...

This lovely music went trembling through the ground
and many were wakened on hearing that sound
and travellers 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 went
La, la, la ...

Peace and good will to all men,
and love for the child.

Everybody sing
La, la, la ...

The song will begin once again to a baby's cry
