Angel
Please Come Home for Christmas
Sitting In Limbo
Use Me

Angel come on down from heaven yesterday
Stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the love between the moon
And the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high above me
And she said she gonna come back tomorrow

And I said
Fly on by, sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Tomorrow I will be right by your side

Sure enough, this woman came home to me
Silver wings, silhouette against a child's own prize
Oh, angel, she said unto me
Today is the day for you to rise
Take my hand, take my hand
You're gonna rise
And then, she took me high over yonder

And I said
Fly on by, sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Forever I will be right by your side

Ooh, ooh, ooh, hoo, ooh
I, uh-huh, I, uh-huh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
I, I, uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Bells will be ringing the sad, sad news
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Year's night

Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
For this is Christmas, yes Christmas my dear,
It's the time of year to be with the one that you love

So won't you tell me, that you'll never roam
Tell me Christmas and New Year's
Will find you home
And there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and no pain
And I'll be happy, I'll be happy once again.

Oh, there'll be no sorrow, no joy, no pain and no grief
And I'll be happy, let me be happy once again.

Sitting here in Limbo
And I know it won't be long.
Sitting here in Limbo,
Like a bird without a song.
They keep putting up resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.

Sitting here in Limbo
Waiting for the dice to roll.
Oooooh, sitting here in Limbo,
I've got some time to search my soul.
But they keep putting up resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.

I don't know where I'm goin',
But I know where I've been.
And I don't know what life will show me,
But I know what I've seen.
Tried my hand at love and friendship,
But all that is past and gone.
This little girl is moving on.

Sitting here in Limbo
Waiting for the dice to roll.
Sitting here in Limbo,
And I know I have to go.
But I know they'll keep putting up resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.

I don't know where I'm goin',
But I know where I've been.
And I don't know what life will show me,
But I know what I've seen.
Tried my hand at love and friendship,
But all that is past and gone.
This little girl is moving on.

Sitting in Limbo
Sitting, sitting in
Sitting in Limbo, Limbo.
Limbo, Limbo,
Limbo.

My friends...
Think it's their appointed duty
They keep tryin' to tell me
That you just want to use me
But my answer
To all that use me stuff

I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good gettin' used
Well, you just keep on usin' me
Until ya use me up

My brother
He sit me right down and he talked to me
And he told me
He thought I ought to not let you just walk on me
And I know, I know that my brother he meant well
But I don't know what's really true

I said brother
If ya only knew
You'd be wishin' you were in my shoes
To keep on usin' me, keep on usin' me
Until ya use me up
Until ya use me up

Ahhuh... It's really true, It's really true
You really do, you really do, you really do abuse me
Ahh...ya get me in a crowd of high class people
And then ya gotta act all rude to me

Ahhuh, and I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good gettin' used
Oh ya just keep on usin' me, keep on usin' me
Until ya use me up
Ah...
