Wait, your tired arms must rest Let this moment pass Wait until the morning Close your eyes and let me see Who you used to be Left without a warning Who knew one so big could grow so small? Lighter than the writing on the wall When angels cry can I stand by? When storms weep can my heart sleep? I wish I'd never heard Wish I'd never heard Wish I'd never heard The power of a four letter word 'Cause only love will matter in the end For woman or for man What's the difference now? Here we live with bottles and needles and truth Here is your living proof That death cannot be proud Some say it's a judgement on us all I can't believe that God would be that small When angels cry can I stand by? When storms weep can my heart sleep? Wish I'd never heard Wish I'd never heard I wish I'd never heard The power of a four letter word If ever was a soul that longed to fly If ever was a heart that longed to bloom If ever was an angel it was you So close your eyes and say goodbye Goodbye When angels cry I can't stand by When storms weep my heart can't sleep I guess I've finally learned I guess I've finally learned Yes, I finally learned Love is just a four letter word Hope is just a four letter word
