Shouldn't you have at least one life left @jeanp8
To activate the key you have to reach the level where the key is and the only way to do that is complete the level before the key. Therefore if you have reached the key you should still have one life.
What I think is unfair about the Music Box feature is that they give you three days to reach the box, but only two hours to reach the key.
