Paper Angels Lyrics

After every day, after Thanksgiving sell
Malls just ain't complete
Without a bunch of decorations
And a paper angel tree

There's artificial smiles
On artificial tree limbs
Sayin what she'd love to have
And what to buy for him

Well, I hope Maggie likes her new winter clothes
And her buggie with a baby doll
And maybe Thomas smile in his new Nike shoes
When he shoots that basketball

I can't help but wishin'
That I could do more
But not just while I'm shopping
In the department store

Paper angels, you're in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now
Remember God's right there, He's asking all of us
To help take care of his paper angels everywhere

Goin' through the mail on this starry afternoon
[ JIMMY WAYNE Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
I see a mom and dad's worst dream
Their on the back of a money-savin'-add
To get my carpet clean

Height, weight, hair, eyes
Date missin' and D.O.B
A child's name a picture
And the words 'Have you see me'

Paper angels, you're in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now
Remember God's right there, He's asking all of us
To help take care of his paper angels everywhere

His documented bruises, film, a folder and a file
She's a second grade self portrait, drawn without a smile
And every town has a litter with this kind of debris
We've got to stop this madness, it's up to you and me

Paper angels, you're in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now
Remember god's right there, He's asking all of us
To help take care of his paper angels everywhere
Paper angels everywhere

After every day, after Thanksgiving sell
Malls just ain't complete
Without a bunch of decorations
