Paper Angels Lyrics - Jimmy Wayne - 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 in his new Nike shoes 

when he shoots that 

Basketball 

I can't help but wishing that I could do more 

But not just while I'm shopping in the department store 

[Chorus] 

Paper angles 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 thought 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] 

His documented bruises fill a folder in a 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]
