There is a time when angels cry
When someone very special dies
And angels come to carry them away
It’s the saddest time we’ll ever know
The time we say goodbye
The only time we hear the angels cry

Can you hear the angels cry?
Can you count their tears?
When they come to carry love away
Will the angels sing again?
Will you ever know
A song that leads you to a brighter day?

We live, we love, time passes by
And days turn into years
We build a life, we make a home
Then laughter turns to tears
That’s the time when angels cry
When angels feel our pain
When we must say our last farewell
We’re standing in the rain

Can you hear the angels cry?
Can you count their tears?
When they come to carry love away
Will the angels sing again?
Will you ever know
A song that leads you to a brighter day

I can hear the angels cry
I can count their tears
I can see them rising in the sky
Love lives on forever
For love will never die
Even when I hear the angels cry

Love will be remembered
Love will never die
Every time we hear the angels cry
