Intro - Dsus2 Asus4 (x2) (Instrumental)
-Verse 1-
Dsus2 Asus4
She’d snuggle and talk to me
Dsus2 Asus4
Each night as I watched TV
Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2 Asus4
I’d teasingly call her chatter box
Dsus2 Asus4
Then one night she said "don’t be scared
Dsus2 Asus4
I see an angel on the stairs
Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2 Asus4
Daddy, can you angle hear the angel talk?"
-Chorus- (chords are now strummed)
D
One more year of lollypops
A
Ice creams cones and soda pops
E
One more years of daddy’s little girl
D
One more year of cracker jacks,
A
bubble gum and sugar smacks.
E
One more year of daddy’s little girl
-Verse 2-
I took her in my arms upstairs
And as she said her night time prayers
I felt a fever burning in her head
She gave thanks for mom and me
And said I heard my angel speak
Daddy, this is what my angel said …
-Chorus-
-Verse 3-
Her faith grew strong her body weak
And soon my frightened eyes could see
There was nothing on earth that I could do
And one year later, to the day
In her sleep, she slipped away
And I knew what she said and heard was true
