For me that would have to be Friend, Lover, sister, mother/wife. I think it is a very sweet song all though it is in a close tie with Adore. But then again, Prince writes a lot of beautiful music. *sigh*

My list of Prince's most beautiful songs

Friend, Lover, sister, mother/wife
adore
If i was your girlfriend
The most beautiful girl in the world
hate u (it has a nice melody)
I would die 4 u
When doves cry
Purple Rain
In this bed scream (it was written for Lisa, Wendy, and what's her face..can't think of the name is starts with a "S" i think her name is Susan or she spells it different)
..I can't think of any more right now

any others?

The Ladder!

There are so many more...

"I Cant Make You Love Me" comes to mind first

right now, though.

"The Grand Progression" -- total bliss

A beautiful song indeed, but written by Bonnie Raitt.
Have fun.

Oh yeah! Forgot that small minor detail!

there is this part in "3 Chains of Gold" that is like a nature sounding flute. To me it is beautiful.

As for a full song "Sometimes it Snows in April" is gorgeous

OK... what about

"Sometimes it Snows..."

and I love "White Mansion"

"Somebodys's Somebody"

"Beautiful Ones"

"The Greatest Romance"

"She Loves Me 4 Me"

now ya got me started!

She Gave Her Angels...

There's a lot, 'Adore' and 'Friend, Lover, sister, mother/wife' are among those...

y'all forgot "condition of the heart"

I'm partial to "Power Fantastic."

"The Beautiful Ones" is a really nice one too.

sorry..he ain't write it...it's a bonnie raitt song ( don't know if she actually wrote it)..nominated for some grammys

One Kiss at a Time, Soul Sanctuary, Avalanche, and Condition of the Heart

to me? "with you", although it makes me retch a bit.

Venus De Milo, "Comeback"

Venus De Milo, "Comeback"

that and sweet baby

Avalanche, Condition of the Heart, Sometimes it Snows in April, and Power Fantastic (with help from the GirlBros) are all great, but Nothing Compares to You is the best to me (Sinead's version). Actually now that I think of it Power Fantastic would be my choice but since you said written by Prince I'll stick with my choice. Prince's lyrics and singing, Lisa's piano, and Eric's flute? make that the most beautiful song I've heard Prince a part of-- it's fucking magic... perfect even.

I sang this song in a 7th grade talent show audition and every female adult in the room was in tears. It is an amazingly beautiful song. I answered "With You" in a similar if not identical thread a few weeks ago

Pink Cashmere -- LUSH!

The One

If U're lookin' 4 the man that will walk away from responsibility
I ain't the one {x3}
And if U're lookin' 4 the brotha that'll treat U like anything but a
queen
I ain't the one

But if U're lookin' 4 a man that'll sweep U off your tired weary feet
Pay your bills, buy U pretty dresses
And take U anywhere U wanna eat
Make love 2 U every night of the week
Oh, don't think it over, girl
Look no further
I am the one
Oh yes I am

If U're lookin' 4 a man that'll make big money
And keep it all 2 himself
I ain't the one
No, no - not me
And if U're lookin' 4 a man that'll have 10 women
And confuse it all with his wealth
Listen here, I ain't that one
No, no no - wait a minute

If U're lookin' 4 a man who can share his dinero (His money)
Buy U half the town (Half the town)
Treat every step U take (Every step)
As if U're walkin', huh, on holy ground (Holy ground)
Place U, place U above all others
When it comes, when it comes 2 the gettin' on down (Down)
Look no further, ooh
Your man's around (He's around)
Oh yes he is

He's standing right here, right here (Right here, right here)
Don't U look no further, girl
He's standing right here, right here

(I am the one) {x2}

If U're lookin' 4 a man that'll make U feel like time has just begun,
ooh
A man that'll make U feel like U're the only thing that ever
mattered
Underneath the sun, underneath the sun, ooh
If U're lookin' 4 somebody
Who will turn your bad day into one long night of fun
Look no further, baby
I'm… I'm the one

Oh yes I am
I am the one
Don't U look no further, girl
Oh, I am the one
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh
My, my, my little Mayte
I'm the one
