These pearls from my mother, passed down from her mother
Of everything they gave me, I treasure them most
Cant wear them, cant hold them, dont come from the ocean
Oh, theyre way more precious than anything I own
Theyre written in my soul
(Chorus:)
Remember who you are, and dont forget to pray
Make sure hes your best friend
When you give your heart away
Be kind, be strong,
Be someone everyone can count on
Yeah, someday
Im gonna give my little girl
These pearls
Ill teach her about make-up, boyfriends and break-ups
Ill share all the wisdom Ive ever learned
Like beautys on the inside, give it your best try
Ill pass down the same words Ive always heard
And shell carry them with her
(Chorus)
Bridge Shell tell her daughter, and shell tell hers too
Ive saved these pearls just for you
(Chorus)
Of everything they gave me, I treasure them most
Cant wear them, cant hold them, dont come from the ocean
Oh, theyre way more precious than anything I own
Theyre written in my soul
(Chorus:)
Remember who you are, and dont forget to pray
Make sure hes your best friend
When you give your heart away
Be kind, be strong,
Be someone everyone can count on
Yeah, someday
Im gonna give my little girl
These pearls
Ill teach her about make-up, boyfriends and break-ups
Ill share all the wisdom Ive ever learned
Like beautys on the inside, give it your best try
Ill pass down the same words Ive always heard
And shell carry them with her
(Chorus)
Bridge Shell tell her daughter, and shell tell hers too
Ive saved these pearls just for you
(Chorus)
