A SPACEMAN CAME TRAVELLING Solo1 Solo 2 Solo 3 Solo 4 Solo 5 Solo 6 Solo 7 Solo 8 Solo 9 Solo 10 Solo 11 Solo 12 A spaceman came travelling 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 6
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 Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child Solo 13 Solo 14 Solo 15 Solo 16 Solo 17 Solo 18 Solo 19 Solo 20 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 round 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 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 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 Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child WHERE ARE YOU CHRISTMAS? Where are you Christmas? Why can't I find you? Why have you gone away? My world is changing, I'm rearranging, Does that mean Christmas changes too? Where are you Christmas? Do you remember? The girl you used to know? You and I were so carefree. Now nothing's easy. Did Christmas change, or just me? 7
