    This year would be a good time for the Spaceman to return to spread the message of Peace and Goodwill to All.

    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

    Just came across this, and reminiscing about the concert my wife and I had last night, seeing him live for the first time... Wonderful evening with all the songs I remember from decades ago, when starting out playing guitar, singing and gigging from the late 60's....Yes, this is a really memorable version of 'Space Man'.... and in biblically, a most appropriate setting.... Well remember in 2004-2005, singing this while gigging to raise funds for Live Aid and Ethiopia.... this and last night's concert brought in all back to me what a wonderful musician and song craftsman and how spiritually aware he is... Lke many singers, he's had drop the key on 'Spaceman' a few tones.. but is some ways, to me sounds all the better... as it did last night.... !!

    Extremely beautiful and deeply moving. It's very similar to what we feel happened. If we'd just learn that Love Is The Message and that ALL of God's creatures under our Sun are meant to be here, can teach us much and are deserving of love and respect. We're missing out on such miraculous wonders with all the greed and mistreatment of others. It's not too late to enjoy all of life again. Connections are everything and bring the elusive joy we seek.

      Jack Cheng, during late 70s thru 90's , HK radio used to air a lot of western pop songs, and that 's how our young ones got familiar with all these songs, including a handful of popstars like Chris de Burgh......For past decade, these generations have very limited exposure with western music..etc, .or unless they learn to know from youtube....it is sad as we face the fact that almost nobody knows these singers/songs in this modern era...
