Lyrics

[Verse 1]
At last we meet again, dear God
When the angels sing
The funeral's are nicer when we know you're there
When the angels sing
Sometimes I try so hard to understand the things you do
Who am I to question you, when it all comes down?
Hear the angels sing
[Verse 2]
Stand up strong, feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love and death don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
[Verse 3]
The prisoners pray when they're on death row
When the angels sing
The junkie cries for love, bit it's all run out
When the angels sing
The sins of the world
And it's cold on the streets when you're all alone
And the tears, they start to fall when it all comes down
Hear the angels sing
[Verse 4]
Stand up strong, feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love and death don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
Little by little, day by day
I watch the children play
'Cause life and death don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
[Verse 5]
When the angel of death comes a looking for me
Hear the angels sing
I hope I was everything I was supposed to be
When the angels sing
There's gotta be a Heaven
'Cause I've already done my time in Hell
And all little babies bawl, when it all comes down
When the angels sing
[Verse 6]
Stand up strong, feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love and death don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
Little by little, day by day
I watch the children play
'Cause life and death don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
