When Angels Cry Lyrics - Janis Ian

When Angels Cry 

(Janis Ian) 

Wait Your tired arms must rest 

Let this moment pass 

Wait until the morning 

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 

Wish I'd never heard, wish I'd never heard 

Wish I'd never heard 

the power of a four letter word

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

'Cause only love will matter in the end 

for woman or for 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 judgement on us all 

I can't believe that God could 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 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 goodbye 

Goodbye

Hope is just a four letter word
