Lyrics: Heaven's Light

Music by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz

So many times out here
I've watched a happy pair
Of lovers walking in the night
They had a kind of glow around them
It almost looked like heaven's light

I knew I'd never know
That warm and loving glow
Though I might wish with all my might
No face as hideous as my face
Was ever meant for heaven's light

But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright
I dare to dream that she
Might even care for me

And as I ring these bells tonight
My cold dark tower seems so bright
I swear it must be heaven's light
