When Angels Cry lyrics

Wait

Your 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
