(Lonnie Ratliff)
The sun goes down tonight and the world fades into darkness
It seems like heaven just can't wait to tell some fools good night
What makes a man take a foolish chance when he knows that it's not worth it
Why will he trade her warm sweet love for a cold dark bitter night
But heaven knows if you listen close, you can hear the angels crying
For the love that he once had then threw away
He's on his knees and praying but his prayers all go unanswered
He just hears the angels cry as his heart breaks

But heaven knows if you listen close, you can hear the angels crying
For the love that he once had then threw away
Oh he's on his knees and praying but his prayers all go unanswered
He just hears the angels cry as his heart breaks
