This has to be one of the prettiest songs I have heard in a long while

INTRO   C F C F C Am G

C                                      F                C
Her parents never took the young girl to church
          F                D                 Am            G
Never spoke of his name, never read her his words
C                                   F              C
Two nonbelievers walking lost in this world
                F            C                  Am        G
Took their baby with them, what a sad little girl


Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
Never wanted to play, or give kisses and hugs
She'd watch the T.V. and sit there on the couch
While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out

      Am                               F
    And the drinking and the fighting 
       C                           G
    Just got worse every night 
      Am
    Behind their couch
                   F
    She'd be hiding
      C                           G
    Oh what a sad little life

And like it always does the bad just got worse
With every slap, and every curse
Until her daddy, in a drunk rage one night
Used a gun on her mom, and then took his life

    And some people from the city
    Took the girl far away
    To a new mom and a new dad
    Kisses and hugs every day

Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in
And a small little girl, stared at a picture of him
She said I know that man up there on the cross
I don't know his name, but I know he got off

    Cause he was there in my old house
    And held me close to his side
    As I hid there behind our couch
    The night that my parents died
    

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG    ENJOY
