my mind just went blank
Paper Angels Lyrics
by Jimmy Wayne
After every day-after-Thanksgiving sale the malls just ain't complete
Without a bunch of decorations and a paper angel tree
There's artificial smiles on artificial tree limbs
Saying what she'd love to have and what to buy for him
Well i hope Maggie likes her new winter clothes and her buggy with a baby doll
And maybe Tom'll smile with his new nike shoes when he shoots that basketball
I can't help but wishing that i could do more
[Chorus:]
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
Going through the mail almost every afternoon i see a Mom and Dad's
Worst dream
There on the back of a money-saving ad to get my carpet cleaned
Height, weight, hair, eyes, date missing, and DOB
A child's name, a picture, and the words 'have you seen me?'
[Chorus:]
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 fill a folder file
She's a second grade self-portrait drawn without a smile
And every town is littered with this kind of debris
We've got to stop this madness and it's up to you and me
[Chorus:]
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
^i heard this today for the first time, and i really like it.
not much has been going on lately. i found out yesterday from the atm that i have $17 in my account. seventeen. SEVENTEEN. i am officially broke.. pay day is today but i refuse to spend money for the next couple weeks on anything that is not necessary. this means the only things i am allowing myself the purchase are gasoline and christmas presents for jeremy and christina (my two secret santas).
oh, and speaking of christina. she's coming to church with me on sunday!!
:-) yay. it was her idea too...that's so cool that she wants to come back. i think that she really realized what God has done for her.
ATTENTION ALL NANSEMOND RIVER PEOPLE WHO READ THIS: First Priority is havign an "outreach party" tomorrow at 2:30 in the teacher's lounge. i REALLY encourage you all to come..it should be fun...it's kareoke (sp?)..but even if you don't sing..like myself...there will be free food and door prizes and lots of people to talk to.
today is the last day of the session for lessons, and then, NO MORE UNTIL JANUARY. sweeeeeeet. excitement is bubbling within. i haven't done their cards yet though, which means i have to go to the Y earlier than usually today. wednesdays are treacherous.
ohhhh guess what, my loves! i sent in THREE applications yesterday. woooohoooo. i'm so happy that they're finally out of the way. (uva, tech, and jmu, that is) Now all i have to worry about are Mary Washington and George Mason..but they shouldn't be too hard.
Time for food, munchkins.
