Lyrics
Oh Valerie, I wrote this song for you
tribute to your pretty smile
about the girl I knew
Your inner beauty was impossible to hide
Your lovely spirit radiated from inside
Life has a way of playing dirty tricks
losing you is something I can't fix
I have your pretty face in many photographs
and that funny video that made us laugh and laugh
possessed of compassion, humility and grace
Oh you were so much more than just a pretty face
Time may ease the pain I feel inside
But I will miss you til the day I die
I've heard that Valerie is with the angels now
For those who do believe, they say she's there and how
As for my own opinion, for what its worth
She already was an angel living here on earth
Fly away my angel friend
Fly away my angel friend
