Joy Of Man`s Desire   Angels We Have Heard On High lyrics

The next letter that she found

Was by a ribbon gently bound 

To the
key for a small music box

And she placed that key into its lock 



And the melody that it had learned

Once again began to turn

And as that tune it filled the air

She opened the letter that was there




And that letter contained a news clipping

About a man with
many things

In his world, a great success

And where he lived, the
best address

His happy life the world did know

Because the papers
told us so 



But the Angel he could clearly see

That all was
not as it appeared to be

For on this night as snow clouds gathered

That man wondered if that all really mattered

And on this night inside
his home

He realized that he was alone

And he asked himself what
his life had meant 

How all these years they had been spent

And how
he could feel his life such a waste

When he had every dream that he had
chased 



But then the Angel whispered in his ear

And in his
mind the man heard clear

Tell me one wish that you have granted

Tell me one life you've enchanted

Tell me one of these things that you
have done

But the man could not recall a single one 



He was
close to no one, this thing he did know

Well there was one person, but
that was long ago

And though that someone 

Had been far more than a
friend

It was far too late to ever go back to her again
