These pearls from my mother, passed down from mother Of everything they gave me, I treasure them Can’t wear them, can’t hold them, don’t come from the ocean Oh, they’re way more precious than anything own They’re written in my soul
(Chorus:) Remember who you are, and don’t forget to pray Make sure your best friend you give your heart away Be kind, be strong, Be someone everyone can count on someday I’m gonna give my little girl These pearls
I’ll teach about make-up, boyfriends and break-ups I’ll share all the wisdom I’ve ever learned Like on the inside, give it your best try I’ll pass down the same words always 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 for
