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
