Letra de An Angel's Share (2003 Remaster)
Deep inside this Christmas Eve Watching as the hours leave Gently drifting in the air Shadows of an angel's shareChristmas lights On Christmas nights With peace for every man Stable scenes And evergreens With snow still glisteningAngels grace This humble place With hopes of our salvation Christmas cards And snow filled yards And children wonderingRejoice All awaken Rejoice Quickly hasten Rejoice For the newborn kingRejoice For the vision Rejoice He has given Hear the choirs as they singScrooge returns To once more learn That Christmas ghosts conspireTo redeem His soul it seems But still he hesitatesTo believe He's not deceived Until this night inspires Him to find That at this time It never is too lateRejoice All awaken Rejoice Quickly hasten Rejoice For the newborn kingRejoice For the vision Rejoice He has given Hear the choirs as they sing And sing And sing And sign and sing and singWinter dreams Her endless scenes In endless combinations To embrace This world of faith This world that we now seeEvery year It returns here With all its variations And as the dayIt fades away And we once more find that...Once again the promise kept One by one the angels slept So we leave this night in peace And the world in gentle sleepWhen she finished the last letter From that little stack She put each one in its envelope And carefully put them backThen she sate and thought quite carefully About all she had learned Realizing that her belief in this night Had completely returnedFor if all these grownups she had read Had in this night believed It could not be possible That they had all been deceivedAnd she marveled how every letter Was signed with a different name That in the end it seemed that all Their wishes were the sameThat the light that reached our lives From that distant Christmas star Would make us, if not perfect Then perhaps better than who we areAnd suddenly she noticed That there was a present there He must have come and left it When she had gone down the stairsThen she realized as for that chimney She needn't have worried after all For Christmas she had found this night Could not be stopped by wallsCould not be stopped by distance Could not be stopped by time And if one lived a thousand years It would still be there to findNow some will say that all these gifts Were left by her father or her mother But I for one, will always suspect It could have been anotherAnd before she went back down the stairs With her fading candlelight She found some paper and wrote down All that had occurred that nightAnd sometime on some distant night We really can't say when Someone will read that letter And this night will live againAnd so our story's over And the child returned to bed To dream about this magic night And where it all had ledAnd the Angel who had heard her thoughts About what she had learned Now realized that his job was done And it was time he should returnAnd taking back all he had brought He returned just in time To appear before his Lord And tell him what he had left behind There were two souls reunited On a snow blessed Christmas Eve And sleeping safely in her bed Was the child who still believedAnd once again the Lord smiled down From his heavenly throne And took the Angel into his heart And whispered, welcome homeAnd may you also hear those words All through your life But may you hear them most of all On every Christmas nightMerry Christmas!POST SCRIPTAnd the most magical thing About this night we will now reiterate That no matter where you are in life It never is too late
