Verse:
      Db        Eb
She had a ring of gold and a three-year-old
    Ab
And a house with a wooden fence
   Db          Eb
The doctors tried and her family cried
      Ab
‘Cause it didn’t make no sense
   Db    Eb       Fm      Dm
But somewhere deep inside she knew God knew better
      Bbm                   Db     Eb
So in the middle of the night… dim night light…she started her letter

It said…

Don’t give up right before the miracle

Don’t let this world turn you cold and cynical

Take these words write ‘em on your heart
Ab       Db
Let your light shine through the dark

And when you think you’ve had enough

Keep looking up
       Db Eb
Keep looking up

Verse:
     Db           Eb
Well she got the note that her momma wrote
    Ab
On the day she turned eleven
    Db      Eb
On the envelope she read the words…
    Ab
To my little girl from heaven
   Db    Eb     Fm      Db
She couldn’t remember the smell of her skin
   Bbm                 Db     Eb
Oh but on that night it was like she was holding her again

When she read…
