Joyangels We Have Heard On High Lyrics

Joyangels 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
