These pearls from my mother, passed from her mother Of everything they gave me, I treasure them most Can’t wear them, can’t hold don’t come from the ocean Oh, they’re way more precious than anything I own They’re written my soul
(Chorus:) Remember who you are, and don’t forget to Make sure he’s your best friend When you give your heart away Be kind, be strong, Be someone can count on Yeah, I’m gonna give my little girl These pearls
I’ll teach her about make-up, boyfriends and break-ups share all the wisdom I’ve ever learned Like beauty’s on the inside, give it your best try I’ll pass down the words I’ve always heard And she’ll carry them her
(Chorus)
She’ll tell daughter, and she’ll tell hers too I’ve saved these pearls just for you
