Select language to translate this lyric
I slip away to days of grace
And found myself a sacred place
Angels raising voice on high
Oh what joy the Lord provides
The sky December gray
And Oh she lit my way
She was seventeen and loved me true
And I believed I loved her too
Anywhere to be alone
In my Mama's car and her Daddy's home
And we were listening to angels sing
They all sang Gloria in Excelsis Deo
They all sang Gloria
Like it was Christmas Day
Our blood was hot and conscience cold
Had to live or get too old
She and I becoming one
Our innocence was overcome
The passion of that kiss is what I miss
They all sang Gloria in Excelsis Deo
They all sang Gloria
Like it was Christmas Day
I cut my lip on a piece of tin
She had wrapped her soul within
Salt from blood, salt from sweat
It was a kiss that I would never forget
And as December snowed
The voices rose
They all sang Gloria in Excelsis Deo
They all sang Gloria
Like it was Christmas Day
