I first heard this song last saturday on an old christmas compilation CD, and I was instantly hooked. It made me think of all the different ways we relate to Christmas, and that we don't have to conform to the stereotipical commercially orientated affair it has become. It's one of the truly great Christmas songs, both capturing the esscence of the old Dickensian christmas and what it means to us as individuals, and presenting an entirely new angle to the story of the nativity. Masterfully Done.

I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR YEARS! My mother had it on a tape a guy from a radio station had made her ages ago. There was no track listing. I looked up spaceman christmas and came across your video! What happy memories! Thank you for bringing them back!

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
