Close your eyes and let me 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?
I wish I'd never heard
I wish I'd never heard
I wish I'd never heard
The power of a four-letter word

'Cause only love
Will matter in the end
For woman or for men
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 judgement 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?
I wish I'd never heard
I wish I'd never heard
I wish I'd never heard
The power of a four-letter word

If ever was a soul that longed to fly
If ever was a heart that longed to bloom
If ever was an angel it was you
So close your eyes
And say good-bye
Good-bye

When Angels Cry
I can't stand by
When stones weep
My heart can't sleep
I guess I finally learned
I guess I finally learned
I guess I finally learned
Love is just a four-letter word
Hope is just a four-letter word
