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