Fallen Angel
Jersey Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been waiting here, it seems a million years to me
But hush now I know you're all cried out
It's all right inside, I've had no doubt
About your love for me
I can see behind the tears
I'm certain of the way we feel
And given time the hurt will heal
You're home again so won't you close the door
Stay here with me and
We'll forget what's gone before
Just hold me tight
Our love is gonna make it right
Put shadows way beyond recall
The ghost has almost gone
Fallen angel, I'll forgive you anything
You can't help the things you do
Now something's gotten hold of you
Fallen angel, got a demon in your soul
And later when the fever's gone
I'll be here where you belong

My dear friend lost her 23 year old son just weeks ago from the exact same circumstances as in the musical. I didn't know that had moved me to tears. Now it's hauntingly beautiful to me but forever tied to that sad circumstance.
