Joy of Man's Desire / Angels We Have Heard on High

angels we have heard on high
 sweetly singing o'er the plains,
 and the mountains in reply
 echoing their joyous strains.
 ooh, ooh, ooh...
 gloria, in excelsis deo!
 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 thought that someone
 had been far more than a friend
 it was far too late to ever go back to her again
