Lyrics

It was getting dark
Across the park
When I saw her sitting there
A little girl who must have lost her way

The night was clear and I could see
The tears welled up in her eyes
She didn't say a word
She just kept staring at the sky

I asked her why she was so sad
And did my best to make her laugh
And when she finally spoke
Her words took me by surprise. she said:

(Refrain):
The angels are cying in heaven tonight
Their hearts are so heavy
They've got tears in their eyes
The angels are cying in heaven tonight
'Cause they can't understand
Why we can't find the light

She said they cry for all the lies we live with everyday
And for all the children sick and in the rain

For the noble dreams that somehow seem to always be in vain
And for the the gentle hearts who still believe in the miracle of faith

It seems so strange that a little girl could know so much about a troubled world
But now I see, she had to be an angel in disguise

Refrain
And the angels are crying...

Refrain
And the angels are crying...
