LYRICS:


Pretty girl, you are the light of my life


I mean my everything


You are the one I chose to make my wife


Thats why you wear my ring


And when Im feeling down and out


You are the one who will bail me out


My love will always guide me home


Pretty girl, my pretty girl


Oh pretty girl, my pretty girl


Pretty girl, dont ever say goodbye


Dont ever let me be


If you do, you know that I would die


You mean that much to me


And when Im feeling low and blue


You always know just what to do


My love will always guide me home


My pretty girl, oh pretty girl


My pretty girl, oh pretty girl


And when Im feeling down and out


Youre the one who will bail me out


My love will always guide me home


My pretty girl


Pretty girl, hear what I have to say


Its something you should know


You brought me sunshine on my darkest day


Thats why I love you so


And when my wandering day is through


Ill always hurry back home to you


My love will always guide me home


My pretty girl, oh pretty girl


My pretty girl, oh pretty girl....

Thats why you wear my ring

And when Im feeling down and out

You are the one who will bail me out

My love will always guide me home

And when Im feeling low and blue

You always know just what to do
