Last night my little girl came to my bedroom
I heard her whisper softly from the door
Mammy I can't sleep cause I miss Papa
Does Papa miss me like he did before
I took her in my arms and then I told her
Darling, Papa misses you the same
But little girls and Mammies cry with teardrops
Angels cry with roses and with rain

Angels cry roses and rain
Angels don't know any pain
So darling when you hear your Papa's name
Think of angels roses and rain and rain

Angels cry roses and rain...

This morning she was playing in the kitchen
Then she took her doll and went outside
I watched her as she walked among the roses
I saw a little sadness in her eyes
But then I heard a raindrop on the window
And softly as the cloud that moved above
My little girl picked up her doll and whispered
That's the way my Papa sends her love

Angels cry roses and rain
Angels don't know any pain
So darling when you hear your Papa's name
Think of angels roses and rain and rain

Angels cry roses and rain
Angels don't know any pain
So darling when you hear your Papa's name
Think of angels roses and rain

Angels cry roses and rain...

Angels cry roses and rain...
