Even Angels Cry
Doro Lyrics

I felt so blue - the sky was so grey
Despite feeling down and the environment reflecting that feeling, I continued with my activities.

It was pouring down - I went walking anyway
Despite the heavy rain, I still carried on with my walk.

A ragged old man came right up to me
An old, disheveled man approached me closely.

He said: "I'm half blind - but there's things I see
He informed me of his apparent visual impairment but also of his ability to perceive things regardless.

And things I believe ..." He said ...
He then started talking about his beliefs.

Even angels cry
The belief that celestial beings can also shed tears.

If you don't believe my words
A challenge to the listener to consider the possibility of the singer's claims.

Just look up at the sky
An invitation to observe the skies closely.

Do you really think it's rain
Questioning the listener's interpretation of rainfall.

It's nothing more than heaven's pain
Positing that rain is a manifestation of heavenly anguish.

I said, "Man, what makes you so smart?"
An inquiry into the old man's seemingly deep insights.

He said, "Have you ever heard of a broken heart?
The old man responds by alluding to heartbreaks, its emotional toll on people, exemplifying his knowledge.

Since she left me I've been sad as you,
Comparing the old man's misery and emotional void to that of the singer's.

But she lets me know she misses me, too
However, letting the singer know that even the person who broke the old man's heart also experiences a similar form of anguish.

I know that it's true."
The old man's understanding of his own perception of this experience.

I really do believe that love's forever
The artist personally believes in the concept of long-lasting love.

When it takes a hold of you, it won't let you go
Love being described as an intense emotion that can completely engulf an individual.

And it can pull a broken heart together
It possesses the ability to make someone whole again despite suffering emotional heartache.

And just in case you're troubled, I want you to know
This is intended to reassure the listener who might have a broken heart that there is hope for healing.

Even angels cry
Reiterating the belief that even heavenly beings grieve.

If you don't believe my words
Challenging the listener's possible skepticism towards the artist's theories.

Just look up at the sky
Nudging the listener to acknowledge the heavens directly.

Do you really think it's rain
Reaffirming earlier doubts about what is commonly thought to be rainfall.

It's nothing more than heaven's pain
Justifying rainfall as the outcome of what is characterized here as divine heartache.

Even angels cry
Reiteration of the central belief the song communicates.
