Janis Ian - When Angels Cry Lyrics
When Angels Cry(Janis Ian)Wait Your tired arms must restLet this moment passWait until the morningClose your eyes and you will seewho you used to beleft without a warningWho knew one so big could grow so smallLighter than the writing on the wallWhen angels cry, can I stand byWhen stones weep, can my heart sleepWish I'd never heard, wish I'd never heardWish I'd never heardthe power of a four letter word'Cause only love will matter in the endfor a woman or a manWhat's the difference nowHere we live with bottlesand needles and truthHere is your living proofthat death cannot be proudSome say it's a judgement on us allI can't believe that God could be that smallWhen angels cry, can I stand byWhen stones weep, can my heart sleepWish I'd never heard, wish I'd never heardWish I'd never heardthe power of a four letter wordIf ever was a rose that longed to bloomIf ever was a heart that longed to flyIf ever was an angel, it was youSo close your eyes and say goodbyeGoodbyeWhen angels cry, I can't stand byWhen stones weep, I can't sleepGuess I've finally learnedGuess I've finally learnedYes, I've finally learnedthat love is just a four letter wordHope is just a four letter word
