Pretty Things

Mama's high heels, cherry lipstick
And a goodwill dress
Play pretending, danced for the mirror
A fairytale princess

Pretty things are yours to hold
My pretty thing, soon you will know
Pretty things you think you need
But that won't make it beautiful

Pretty things will rob you blind
Pretty things will fade in time
It's what's inside that makes you shine
My pretty thing

It's only natural, the table's turning
And gracefully I'll learn
How to cradle the one who raised me
Will be too fragile for this world

Oh, pretty things are yours to hold
My pretty thing, soon you will know
That pretty things you think you need
But that won't make it beautiful

Pretty things will rob you blind
Pretty things will fade in time
It's what's inside that makes you shine
My pretty thing

Selfless and faithful
As good as you should be
Open and fearless
Oh, what a gift you gave me

Oh, pretty things are yours to hold
My pretty thing soon you will know
Pretty things, you think you need
But that won't make it beautiful

Pretty things will rob you blind
Pretty things will fade in time
What lives inside of you still shines
My pretty thing, my pretty thing, pretty thing
