The lyrics express the pain of sudden loss and the struggle to accept that the person is gone. The singer finds comfort in believing that the departed has become an angel in heaven, though she admits feeling jealous of the angels who now surround them.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I didn't know today would be our last
Or that I'd have to say goodbye to you so fast
I'm so numb, I can't feel anymore
Praying you'd just walk back through that door
And tell me that I was only dreaming
You're not really gone as long as I believe
There will be another angel
Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me,
And I will hold on tight
It's not my place to question,
Only God knows why
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight
You always made my troubles feel so small
And you were always there to catch me when I'd fall
In a world where heroes come and go
Well, God just took the only one I know
So, I'll hold you as close as I can
Longing for the day, when I see your face again
But until then
God must need another angel
Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me
And I will hold on tight
It's not my place to question
Only God knows why
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight
Sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight
