Lyrics
Ooh, ooh, ooh! Yeah (she cries)
Ooh
When a heart needs healing
On who do you call?
The good Lord you know
He's heard them all
I didn't want to get Him involved
With this little problem of mine
Since you left I've had no one else
I've been sitting by the window
Just waiting for help
I believe He shares the pain I felt
'Cause He's shown me a sign, yeah
An angel cries in the sky tonight
With a twinkle and a tear in her eyes
An angel cries in the sky tonight
Though you're gone and said goodbye, oh yeah, she cries
Well, Mister Moon I see is just half-full
It's part of him is missing
'Cause he misses you, too
He said I look up just the way mine do
Guess I'm not alone in missing your love, ooh
An angel cries in the sky tonight
With a twinkle and a tear in her eyes
An angel cries in the sky tonight
Though you're gone and said goodbye, oh, ooh, yeah, she cries
I think he's trying to tell me
That he understands what I'm going through
When a heart gets broken, down here below
Heaven feels a little sorrow too, oh-oh-oh
An angel cries in the sky tonight
With a twinkle and a tear in her eyes
An angel cries in the sky tonight
Though you're gone and said goodbye
An angel cries in the sky tonight
With a twinkle and a tear in her eyes, oh
An angel cries in the sky tonight
Though you're gone and said goodbye, yeah
An angel cries
In the sky tonight
An angel cries
With a tear in her eye
Oh, an angel cries
In the sky tonight
An an-angel cries, ooh, ooh, in the sky tonight, yeah
(Come back, baby, come back, come back)
Come back, baby
(Come back, come back, baby, ooh, baby, come back)
Come back (come back baby)
Baby, baby (come back), sweet baby
Come back, baby (come back)
