Description

My 2nd husband and I were together only 2-1/2 years before he died. We both had struggled in finding true, honest love and acceptance in our relationships and when we found one another we found those gifts. We helped one another transition from very hard places in our lives and we truly just begun and when he got sick with cancer. I then I cared for him until he sadly went home to heaven. He Called Me Angel from the beginning until the end. (:

Bio

DRIVEN from birth to perform, sing, and give the fire in her soul… DRIVEN by self-seeking motives from wounds that produced deep insecurities, life never unfolded like “Cee Cee” thought it should! Awards, reviews, touring the U.S. and Europe, AND STILL no ‘just rewards’ so it seemed. Enveloped in a life of ignorant self-centered fear and unhappiness on all levels including infidelity and addiction, Cee Cee was graced to FINALLY reach surrender and the ‘truth.’ Her songs and writings hold the stories, the keys, the lessons, the growth. Now the path has turned inward unleashing and exposing all as she shares the messages and lessons.
The ‘claim to fame’ with her Fans has been the RAW & REAL which has been the key into every heart. There is no pretense. There is no posing. There is no perfection. What there is, is a bare aching human vulnerability and understanding of the ‘journey’ we are all on within the stories in the songs, and within the understanding heart flowing through her voice.

Lyrics

He Called Me Angel

He Called Me Angel
He held me when it rained
He Called Me Angel
He held me through my pain
He Called Me Angel
Knew just what I needed
He Called Me Angel
And he loved me just for me

He came along when my love was broken
He helped me heal my wounded wings
And I came along when his love was lonely
And I loved him like a king

Heaven must have danced
Welcoming this precious man
Stars shining bright, lighting up his path
With Gods open arms embracing
“Welcome home, welcome home again”

He Called Me Angel
Under stars on desert sand
He Called Me Angel
In the forest holding hands
He Called Me Angel
Making love in the sweet soft winds
He Called Me Angel
Even at the end, even at the end

This was a man who learned to walk humble
A man who paid his life dues
And God blessed his path rewarding him with honor
And he left this earth, an innocent man

Heaven must have danced
Welcoming this precious man
Stars shining bright, lighting up his path
With Gods open arms embracing
“Welcome, welcome home, welcome home again”

I called him Angel
I held him when it rained
I called him Angel
I loved him through his pain
I called him Angel
As his soul surrendered in
I called him Angel
And I loved him just for him

Hummmm… even at the end….
Ouuuu… ouuuuu
Ouuuuuuuuuuu….
He Called Me Angel
