Song Lyrics

The Angels Are Crying (In Heaven Tonight)

It was gettin’ dark
Across the park
When I saw her sittin’ 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 starin’ 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
The angels are cryin’ in heaven tonight
Their hearts are so heavy
They’ve got tears in their eyes
The angels are cryin’ in heaven tonight
Cuz they can’t understand why
We can’t find the light

She said they cry for all the lies
We live with every day
And for all the children
Sleepin’ in the rain

For the noble dreams that somehow seem
To always be in vain
And for 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

And
The angels are cryin’ in heaven tonight
Their hearts are so heavy
They’ve got tears in their eyes
The angels are cryin’ in heaven tonight
Cuz they can’t understand why
We can’t find the light

And
The angels are cryin’ in heaven tonight
Their hearts are so heavy
They’ve got tears in their eyes
The angels are cryin’ in heaven tonight
Cuz they can’t understand why
We can’t find the light
