When Angles CryWaitYour tired arms must rest Let this moment pass Wait until the morning Close your eyes and you will see Who you used to be Left without a warning Who knew one so big could grow so small? Lighter than the writing on the wall When angels cry, can I stand by? When stones weep, can my heart sleep? Wish I'd never heard, wish I'd never heard Wish I'd never heard The power of a four letter word 'Cause only love will matter in the end For a woman or a man What's the difference now? Here, we live with bottles And needles and truth Here is your living proof That death cannot be proud Some say it's a judgment on us all I can't believe that God would be that small When angels cry, can I stand by? When stones weep, can my heart sleep? Wish I'd never heard, wish I'd never heard Wish I'd never heard The power of a four letter word If ever was a rose that longed to bloom If ever was a heart that longed to fly If ever was an angel, it was you So close your eyes and say goodbye Goodbye When angels cry, I can't stand by When stones weep, I can't sleep Guess I've finally learned Guess I've finally learned Yes, I've finally learned That love is just a four letter word Hope is just a four letter word |
