lyrics

Angel Boy
By Kathleen Dunbar
Copyrighted by Kathleen Dunbar

Chorus
My heart has love to give – give me back the same
I fell in love with the green-eyed angel with the hair of flame

He has the shoulders of a man and skin as soft as a child
A voice so sweet but the blood in his heart is wild
He says honey come and drink from a cup of joy
That’s how he talks my angel boy
It’s wonderful under the sweet spell of his smile

I want to stay all tangled in his curls
He is the angel loved by all of the girls
You never had the real McCoy
Till you’ve loved a green-eyed red-haired boy
He’s sugar and fire and the trainwreck end of this world

Chorus

I decided he was trouble and I stayed away for a while
But he kept hangin round with the honey trap of his smile
Sayin don’t spend your life livin all lonely
Waitin on your one and only
You know what’s best will only be here for a while

You worry when you stay worry when you’re on the run
If you spend your life in worry it’ll all be gone
Well we’re all half alive we’re all half dyin
All half laughin and all half cryin
Might as well enjoy the ride before it’s done.

Chorus

He said honey if I stay the passion’ll soon be gone
Love is like a peach you pick it then it’s done
Let the sweetness run and drip now
Honey I’m here so let it rip now
The only way you’ll ever keep me is in a song

When I’m with him I’m as happy as a child with a brand new toy
I hope the ache of love will take and not destroy me
Well, he might be the devil but god employed him
He kisses like an angel and I enjoy him
I never had no candy dandy as my angel boy

Chorus

about

Kathleen Dunbar San Francisco, California

You may notice my songs are about angels and devils, birth, life, death, about creation and crumbling destruction—the troubles we humans get ourselves into and the choices we make—some of them funky, some of them ending in the dark, others rising into the light of morning. Touching, humorous, spellbinding storytelling—my songs brings you into the irony, the tragedy, and the possibilities of life. ... more
