These pearls from my mother, passed down from her mother Of everything gave me, I treasure them most Can’t wear them, can’t hold them, don’t come from 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 When you give your heart away Be kind, be strong, Be someone can count Yeah, someday I’m gonna give my little girl These pearls
I’ll teach her about boyfriends and break-ups 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 I’ve always heard And she’ll carry them with
(Chorus)
She’ll tell her daughter, and she’ll tell hers too saved these pearls just for you
