Pearls

These pearls from my mother, passed down from her mother
Of everything they gave me, I treasure them most
Cant wear them, cant hold them, dont come from the ocean
Oh, theyre way more precious than anything I own

Theyre written in my soul

Remember who you are and dont forget to pray
Make sure hes your best friend when you give your heart away
Be kind, be strong, be someone everyone can count on
Yeah, someday Im gonna give my little girl these pearls, oh yeah, yeah

Ill teach her about make-up, boyfriends and break-ups
Ill share all the wisdom Ive ever learned
Like beautys on the inside and give it your best try
Ill pass down the same words, Ive always heard

And shell carry them with her

Remember who you are and dont forget to pray
Make sure hes your best friend when you give your heart away
Be kind, be strong, be someone everyone can count on
Yeah, someday Im gonna give my little girl these pearls

Shell tell her daughter and shell tell hers too
Ive saved these pearls just for you, just for you

Remember who you are and dont forget to pray
Make sure hes your best friend when you give your heart away
Yeah, be kind, be strong, be someone everyone can count on
Yeah, someday Im gonna give my little girl, oh
Someday Im gonna give my little girl these pearls

These precious pearls
