Conway Twitty – To See An Angel Cry lyrics
See her there, see her crying
She thinks she loves him so
She don’t know how much it hurts me
To hear her beg him not to go
If she were mine again
I’d never let the tears fill her eyes
She don’t know how much it hurts me
To see an angel cry
Once she built her world around me
But like a fool I tore it down
And she begged me not to leave her
Just the way she’s doing now
Now, she’s begging to another
With that same hurt in her eyes
She don’t know how much it hurts me
To see an angel cry
I didn’t know how much I loved her
Till she turned and walked away
I didn’t know how much I’d hurt her
Till I saw her here this way
If she were mine I’d hold her forever
And dry the tears from her eyes
She don’t know how much it hurts me
To see my angel cry
She don’t know how much it hurts me
To see my angel cry…
