    Has to be the most poignant Christmas song of them all. Brings me to the edge of tears whenever I hear it and it’s nothing short of scandalous that it is seldom played on the radio during the festive season.

    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 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
    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
    Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again (la la la la la la la la la)
    There are thousands standing on the edge of the world (la la la la la la la la la)
    And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here (la la la la la la la la la)
    This song will begin once again to a baby's cry
