[Verse 1]
Stillness filled the Heavens, on crucifixion day
Some say it rained, I don't know if it's true
Well, I can just imagine ten thousand angels crying
That would seem like rain to me and you

[Verse 2]
The angels all stood ready to take Him from the tree
They waited for the words from His voice
And when he asked the father why has thou forsaken me
They watched the savior die of his own choice

[Chorus]
I've never seen ten thousand angels cry
But I'm sure they did
As they stood by
And watched the savior die

[Verse 3]
God turned his head away
He couldn't bear the sight
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried
As the sun slipped away
The skies turned to grey
And when Jesus gave his all
That's when the tears began to fall

[Chorus]
I've never seen ten thousand angels cry
But I'm sure they did
As they stood by
And watched the savior die
God turned his head away
He couldn't bear the sight
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried

[Outro]
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried

Margaret LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (August 28, 1982) is a country singer who uses the stage name LeAnn Rimes. Born in Jackson, Mississippi she started performing at age 7 and had become a country star by age 13. Known for her vocals, many say she sounds a lot like Patsy Cline.

Rimes is a two-time Grammy winner and remains active in music. She’s gone through some troubles in the past few years, perhaps the result of such a young start in the business of music.
