  • The day you left me
    An angel cried

    The sun had faded and died
    No one knew the reason why but me
    That cloudy day
    You went away

    The clouds had filled up the skies
    Like the tears that filled my eyes, lonely me
    That cloudy day
    You went away

    Then rain drops fell (rain drops fell)
    Down from the sky
    The day you left me
    An angel cried
    An angel cried

    (My God, an angel knows)
    Yes, she knows
    Yes, she knows you hurt me so
    She knows the reason why

    The raindrops fell (rain drops fell)
    Down from the sky
    The day you left me
    An angel cried
    An angel cried
    Woah-oh, she cried

    That cloudy day (that cloudy day)
    You went away (you went away)
    An angel cried
    She cried
