Baby rubs her eyes, a far away sleep
Returning home, her soul to keep
Well, if she cries before the morning wakes
Hold her close, she will not break

Angels on high
Ah, the children these days
Sing to their mothers and dads
With love and lullabies
Angels on high

Angels, there it is

Now old man opens his eyes to a darkened dream
Sees only colors, begins to weep
Baby smiles, the earth awakes
Crystal promise will not forsake

Oh, angels on high
Ah, the children these days
Look into their parents eyes
With love and lullabies

What can you tell me?
What did they say?
What can you tell me?

Ooh, that baby grows up, woman or man
Ever so since life began
Return to sender, come back again
Rainbow child cannot pretend

Oh, angels on high
Ah, the babies born today
Oh, they cover the earth
With love, love and lullabies

Angels, they seek
Angels, they seek
Angels

What can you tell me?
What can you try?
But I'm trying to tell you
Ooh, I miss it, can't just miss it

What did you say?
What did you say?
Angels

Angels
Come back down again
