Although she is not a forum member, my wife has asked me to add her ‘pretty’ song.
This again is one of Humperdinck’s and another I used to sing. If my wife was there, I would make sure this was sung and she was given the single rose I carried.
On The Wings Of A Silverbird
Afton Water
You may be unaware that Paul Simon copied the song, in it’s entirely, from British folk singer Martin Carthy. Simon had left the USA (and Art Garfunkel) after “Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.” failed to achieve any material success. In London, he finished his first solo album “The Paul Simon Songbook”, met Martin Carthy and plagiarised the arrangement of the song, which then appeared on “Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme” (1966). Along with Art Garfunkel, Simon claimed credit for the arrangement. Martin Carthy received no credit and no royalties.
Anyway, here’s Martin’s version from “Martin Carthy” (1965):
Before Simon learned the song, Bob Dylan had “borrowed” the melody and several lines from Carthy’s arrangement to create his song “Girl from the North Country”.
The song is, of course, “traditional” - Martin himself learnt it from a Ewan McColl/Peggy Seeger songbook - but the lack of acknowledgement of the arrangement from Simon rankled with Martin for years afterward.
Simon went on to plagiarise other artists’ works without acknowledgement (as in “Graceland”). There’s no doubt that the man is talented but his musical morals are suspect.
Spot on Omar. As fellow Londoner, I met him when he started out as a small-time performer and almost asked him to join my growing band, but I was not so sure a folk type of singer would complement my existing band members. I think his daughter is still in the folk music scene.
This may not be “pretty” but, to me, it’s starkly beautiful, hypnotic and evocative:

I know all that … but it goes way off-topic … 
Try this one:
Good idea … 
I’ve heard both versions in Greek, it’s just enchanting!
Loads of interesting choices both here and on the Reddit thingy
Pretty doesn’t have to be great music
“Pretty” to me means attractive, young, light hearted, happy, fun, (romantic maybes?)
I think there are some good Disney ones like that, “I know you” , Beauty and the Beast, Bella Notte, those sort
And some Irish music, The Rose of Tralee is pretty, I think?
I’ve always liked this one, it’s gentle and pleasant and reminds me of summer and his guitar picking is very pretty
Wild Mountain Thyme
I am not sure I have ever called a song pretty.
One of the most beautiful songs I love is Words, by the Bee Gees
Sorry, being a new member I have not worked out how to post the music video as yet.
Same 
But this song sprang to mind:
She’s pretty.
Her voice is pretty.
And the song is kinda cute…
