Mmm… Pretty Girl…
Heaven gained an angel…
[Verse 1 – Mother’s voice]
C
I remember your last breath,
Am
Falling softly in my arms.

The pain it tore my soul apart,
G
The world just fell apart.
Am
I cried to Heaven, “Oh God, why?”
F
Tears fell as I looked to the sky.
C
Our hearts broke that night,
G
When our Pretty Girl took flight.
[Chorus – Dad’s voice]
F
Pretty Girl, can you hear me up there?
C
I still see your smile everywhere.
Am
Daddy’s trying to be strong, but it’s hard to move on,
G
When my arms still ache to hold you.
F
Pretty Girl, you’re my light, my song,
C
I’ll keep your memory living on.

Until we meet again, my sweet baby girl—

You’ll always be Daddy’s Pretty Girl.

Daddy shut down, he hid his pain,
Am
Losing you near drove him insane.
F
We both cried for you every night,
G
The days too long, the dark too quiet.
Am
Trying to stay strong for your siblings too,
F
Comforting them while broken in two.
C
But our pain was the same,
G
Still whispering your name.
[Chorus – Dad’s voice, stronger]
F
Pretty Girl, can you hear me up there?
C
I still see your smile everywhere.

Daddy’s trying to be strong, but it’s hard to move on,
G
When my arms still ache to hold you.
F
Pretty Girl, you’re my light, my song,
C
I’ll keep your memory living on.
Am
Until we meet again, my sweet baby girl—
G
You’ll always be Daddy’s Pretty Girl.
[Bridge – Both parents, harmonized; strings enter softly]
Am
God must’ve needed another angel,
F
‘Cause you gained your wings too soon.
C
But He knew our hearts were bleeding,
G
So He blessed us with His truth.
Am
Your baby brother came with Heaven’s grace,
F
And in his smile, we see your face.
C
He laughs the way you used to do—
G
It’s like a piece of you shines through.
[Final Chorus – Dad’s voice, full emotion + light drums/strings]
F
Pretty Girl, I can feel you near,
C
Your laughter still echoes clear.
Am
You’re the reason I can smile again,
G
Through the sunshine and the rain.
F
Pretty Girl, my heart, my pearl,
C
You changed our world forever, girl.
Am
We’ll love you till our days are done,
G
You’re our moon, our stars, our sun.
[Outro – Both parents, soft piano fade]
C
Laughter fills our home once more,
Am
But your memory lives in every door.
F
Our Pretty Girl, we’ll never let go—
G
You’re the love that made us whole.
Am
Heaven gained an angel that day we cried,
F
But your spirit’s still right by our side.

Pretty Girl… forever you’ll stay…
