lyrics

V1
A beautiful creation of light & truth & love
God sent me an angel then he took her back above
He said,
She belongs to you-
but she's too pure to live here now
This world is far too cruel
her feet need not touch the ground

CH
Cuz she's perfect
Your daughter is
She's one of those few
that did not need to be tried and tested
Don't you worry
oh, I know you're sad
How could you not be
when you held one of my favorites in your hands?
You think she's gone now?
Oh, darling, you misunderstand
just cause you can't see her standing right beside you
that doesn't mean she isn't there
that doesn't mean she isn't there

V2
She got an invitation to skip this troubled Earth
I sent you an angel, then I took her back at birth
Remember that, she belongs to you
but she has a greater purpose here
When you make it back to me
You'll understand my dear

Ch
She's so perfect
Your daughter is
She's one of those few
that did not need to be tried and tested
Don't you worry
Oh, I know you're sad
How could you not be
when you held one of my favorites in your hands?
You think she's gone now?
Oh, darling, you misunderstand
Just cause you can't see her standing right beside you
that doesn't mean she isn't there

Bridge
So close your eyes and listen
she'll be by your side
She'll protect you from the darkness
wipe your tears at night
She'll teach you why you're here
she'll be your guiding light
She's a masterpiece from heaven
and she's your child

Outro
Yes, she's perfect
your daughter is
and she'll be waiting there at heaven's gate
to hold your hand & guide you in
you think she's gone now
but she's beside, behind, within
just cause you can't see her all around you
that doesn't mean she isn't there
that doesn't mean she isn't there
