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
