Wait Your tired arms must rest   Let this moment pass   Wait until the morning   Close your eyes and you will 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 stones weep, can my heart sleep   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 a woman or a 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 could be that small      When angels cry, can I stand by   When stones weep, can my heart sleep   Wish I'd never heard, wish I'd never heard   Wish I'd never heard   the power of a four letter word   If ever was a rose that longed to bloom   If ever was a heart that longed to fly   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 stones weep, I can't sleep   Guess I've finally learned   Guess I've finally learned   Yes, I've finally learned   that love is just a four letter word   Hope is just a four letter word
