Pearls

These pearls from my mother, passed down from her mother
Of everything they gave me, I treasure them most
Can�t wear them, can�t hold them, don�t come from the ocean
Oh, they�re way more precious than anything I own
They�re written in my soul

Chorus
Remember who you are, and don�t forget to pray
Make sure he�s your best friend
When you give your heart away
Be kind, be strong,
Be someone everyone can count on
Yeah, someday
I�m gonna give my little girl
These pearls

I�ll teach 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 your best try
I�ll pass down the same words I�ve always heard
And she�ll carry them with her

Repeat Chorus

Bridge She�ll tell her daughter, and she�ll tell hers too
I�ve saved these pearls just for you

Repeat Chorus
