I felt so blue - the sky was so grey
It was pouring down - I went walking anyway
A ragged old man came right up to me
He said: "I'm half blind - but there's things I see
And things I believe " He said

Even angels cry
If you don't believe my words
Just look up at the sky
Do you really think it's rain
It's nothing more than heaven's pain
Even angels cry
Even angels cry

I said, "Man, what makes you so smart?"
He said, "Have you ever heard of a broken heart?
Since she left me I've been sad as you,
But she lets me know she misses me, too
I know that it's true"

Even angels cry
If you don't believe my words
Just look up at the sky
Do you really think it's rain
It's nothing more than heaven's pain
Even angels cry
Even angels cry

I really do believe that love's forever
When it takes a hold of you, it won't let you go
And it can pull a broken heart together
And just in case you're troubled, I want you to know

Even angels cry
If you don't believe my words
Just look up at the sky
Do you really think it's rain
It's nothing more than heaven's pain
Even angels cry
Even angels cry
