These pearls from my passed down from her mother Of everything they gave me, I treasure them most Can’t wear them, can’t hold them, come from the ocean Oh, they’re way more precious than anything I own They’re in my soul
(Chorus:) Remember who you are, and don’t to pray Make sure he’s your best friend When you give your heart away kind, be strong, Be someone everyone can count on someday I’m gonna give my little girl These pearls
I’ll teach her about make-up, boyfriends and I’ll 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 always heard And she’ll carry them with her
(Chorus)
She’ll tell her daughter, and she’ll tell hers too saved these pearls just for you
