Joy of Man's Desire / Angels We Have Heard on High - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

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
