Verse 1:
-------
Dm F C Dm
A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar
F C Bb
Twas light years of time since his mission did start
Dm Am Bb Dm
And over a village, he halted his craft
F C Bb
And it hung in the sky like a star
Dm '
Just like a star
Verse 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 a face of an angel
And they were afraid
Verse 3:
-------
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"
Suddenly, the sweetest music
Filled the air And it went
Chorus:
------

La-la-la-la, la-la-la la-la-la

Oh-oh-oh
Verse 4:
-------
This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were wakened 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
Verse 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 has gone by
This song will begin once again
To a baby's cry"
Chorus:
------
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-la-la
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 (oh-oh-oh-oh)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la la-la-la
Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child
Verse/Outro:
-----------
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
