Letra de The Music Box (2003 Remaster)
Remember last Christmas Eve When we sat next to our first tree Ornaments reflected light Of a candle in the nightAnd I gave you a music box Back then that seemed like so much We watched it go round and round As the melodies unwoundBut all these things are now long gone And not to be wished upon againBut the musical box continues to turn The candle in the window continues to burn But I know they're just memories Like Christmas past and you and meRemember that old fireplace That held the room in warm embrace And as we watched for Christmas ghosts The fire held the shadows closeBut now upon that Christmas scene The candle wax of melted dreams And ornaments of shattered glass Now belonging to the pastBut all these things are now long gone And not to be wished upon againBut the musical box continues to turn The candle in the window continues to burn But I know they're just memories Like Christmas past and you and meBEHIND THAT SINGLE LETTER WAS A WEATHERED PHOTOGRAPH OF THAT MAN IN THE ARTICLE BUT FROM SOMEWHERE IN HIS PASTAND STANDING THERE BESIDE HIM IN A SETTING SUMMER SUN WAS THE LADY WHO USED TO OWN THIS HOUSE ONLY HERE SHE WAS QUITE YOUNGSHE HAD MOVED TO A SMALLER PLACE THAT WAS ONLY RIGHT NEXT DOOR AND THEN THE CHILD NOTICED SOMETHING ELSE THAT SHE HAD MISSED BEFORETHIS LETTER HAD NO STAMP IT SEEMED AND WAS SURELY NEVER SENT AND AS SHE SAT UPON THE FLOOR THAT CHILD SHE WONDERED WHAT IT MEANTTHEN THE ANGEL WHISPERED TO HER A MOST IMPORTANT FACT THAT FOR COMPASSION TO BE REAL IT REQUIRES ONE TO ACTTHEN ONCE AGAIN THAT CHILD CAME UP WITH A CHILD'S IDEA BUT SHE KNEW SHE MUST ACT FAST FOR TIME, IT WAS GROWING DEARSO TAKING THAT ARTICLE BACK DOWNSTAIRS SHE FOUND THE KITCHEN PHONE AND CALLED UP INFORMATION TO FIND THE NUMBER OF HIS HOMEAND WHEN HE PICKED UP THE RECEIVER SHE QUICKLY TOLD HIM QUITE ENOUGH TO KNOW WHO WAS WAITING ON THIS NIGHT FOR HIM AND THEN THE CHILD, SHE JUST HUNG UPTHEN TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE WAS AWAKE SHE TOOK A QUICK LOOK DOWN THE HALL THEN SHE FOUND HER NEIGHBOR'S NUMBER AND REPEATED THAT SAME CALL
