Chris De Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling Lyrics
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...
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...
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 ... This song will begin once again
To a baby's cry...
And it goes 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,
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...

Hearty meal?
You don't get this with new music, it's such a dramatic story telling but an amazing song, reminds me of Vincent - don McLean
A billion views would be nice for this song. So close. (posted in 2006, 14 years ago)

Looking through the comments. Surprised to find no Christians here telling us how we will all go to hell for even liking this song
Here from what’s good podcast
the aliens from another planet came down and populated the earth with advanced technology primitave man would have seen them as gods
If you going to the Bible as a reference you should at least be consistence. The Bible states the world is flat and the stars are near by. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVBVYz_GKOI

Benjo015 EYYYYYYY
Let's goo
In my personal understanding of the Bible, and other religious texts, that the "Ancient Alien" interpretation of the Bible is correct. UFO's are all throughout the Bible in terms such as: cloud by day and fire by night, Enoch's whirlwind, Elijah's chariots, Ezekiel's wheels, Zechariah 5's flying scroll, the star of Bethlehem, Saul of Tarsus's Damascus road experience, the cloud that Jesus ascended into in Acts 1, and many more references. Jesus was/is an extra terrestrial, like the Father, and the other angels.
What’s good podcast
Easy to forget how creative Chris de Burgh was before 'Lady in Red' ballads took over.
I'm 54 yrs young. First time this week I heard this song . Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Great song
Happy Christmas every one 🍹🎄🍰

CHRISMSAS EVE
Here every year.
Same. Wouldn't be Christmas any other way.
See ‘to the stars academy’ the truth is slowly rolling out!
I just heard it and im crying..cant explain why x
because truly beautiful things touch the soul.
SistorCarrera because it’s based on fact....see ‘to the stars academy’.
we are less equipped to go to the stars than for we are my own immortality which for humans leads to insanity...hence my own vampiric spite.
Спиздил у Рем Дигги
A brilliant collection of pictures to accompany a beautiful song and music
No sorry but actually what kind of person actively dislikes this?
I think mankind needs Jesus more than ever today.
Be honest, if that spaceman came today, would you go with him?
I would have to decline as there is still alot of work to be done on Earth :) Merry Xmas
Lost my big cousin rab on the 12th Nov 65 years of age miss you cuz brilliant xmas memories with this song classic
My fap song
I'm going to hope you meant fav
Nope, definitely Fap my friend
Awesome and totally underrated Christmas classic...thank you Mr De Burgh
Merry Christmas everyone around the world and thankyou for making this beautiful video 💜💙🕊🕊🕊
Light year is a measurement of distance....not time 🙅♂️
Hello it’s December 24 in Ireland I heard this at 12:00am at night I started crying 😭 I have no idea why
Typo ‘to the stars academy’
Oo ah up the RA!
Oo ah up the ra
Lost my virginity to this song aaah memories x
BEAUTIFUL SONG.. so wonderful
Best song from him. I love it
Back again. Merry Christmas 2019 to all. God bless you and watch over you in 2020. See you next year ❤️
My FAVOURITE
Fun fact: Chris de Burgh didn't really like eating lemons.
One of the most intelligent Christmas song's,
Let's go Europeans!
2019 Christmas!
Also if are so civlised then websites like blacked dot com where young blonde nordic girls are sucking black men off and servicing them and swallowing their cum for fame wouldnt occur 😃
@SimonSegways
On this planet, Brown people are NOT advanced enough,
History says so,
and the western modern European World..
And I don't think they understand
'The concept' of this song,
Facts,
On this earth who's made space travel possible?
Who's created Modern Media',radio, car's, flight possible?
And ultimately Modern Civilization,
We Europeans,.
but in the last 2,000 year's us white Europeans..
Now a space man came traveling bringing Christ.
Was he even human?
Who brought him here because based on our earth's history as I've said Brown people never had the technical advancements we modern European people have invented and created.
@Bruce Wayne
He most likely was but what's wrong with people being proud of to be western European?
And this song is about the concept of religion and the Origins of were it came from?.
Personally I think it's as the song describes?
When you said European's.
I know You meant brown and white European's.
But some Liberal bastards have to turn into a colour thing lol.
@Bruce Wayne
Europeans = Western/Eastern People = white & Brown?
We used to sing this in assembly at primary school
I wach this when I was i n year1 I has memory's because are old year 1 teacher left 😢😓but I love this song are head teacher said "mr preston is not here but we'll still put it on " we had so much fun
Who's listening in 2019 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
So will we be getting a who's listineng 2020
Yaaaassssss
Lol its so funny in school now we just play it for the memes
spoken jokes are 50 times funnier than memes,
go try them out and see the power of good humour.
I feel like this is the soundtrack to the end of the world
I just cannot describe the ecstasy in me
Gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. As they say: "The truth is out there". Merry Xmas !
John Lees indeed it is John....see ‘ to the stars academy’ it’s rolling out!
Came here from miniminter
Always loved this track. Can't help but hear similarities to Dream Weaver. Both released in 1975. (as was I)
Best song ever
He can be forgiven for The lady in red.
My fav Xmas song but I can't stand him. Puke every time I hear lady in red. But this song encaptures all that I believe and it truly is a classic
Wow just wow. I had this song playing and listening to it outside under that stars moving my body to that song that played once again.
I believe

This song would play in the end credits of a christmas episode of a tv show when shit has just gone down
A jamaican man on the titanic
I listened to Chris alot in my youth & I've come back to him in my later yrs! A fellow honary Wexford man ( adopted Yella belly)! Thanks for all the memories & being there in d needed times! Thank u Chris!
Before Lady In Red, he made some really good records.
I never knew this was a Christmas song we sung it at our Christmas show and I never knew it was a Christmas song until my mother told me yesterday
