LYRICS
Memories and Pearls
Verse 1
I’d sit with mama at her vanity it was our time to talk
She’d tell me stories ‘bout family and open that blue velvet box
Inside was a strand of pearls Grandma gave her on her wedding day
Sometimes she’d hold them ‘round my neck this is what she’d say

Chorus 1
Memories and Pearls over time may fade
So I try to find a reason to wear them everyday
Far more precious than all the diamonds in the world
One by one, linked with love 
Memories and Pearls

Verse 2
Mama smoothed my wedding gown a tear ran down her cheek
She smiled as I opened the velvet box she handed to me
I held my hair so she could clasp those pearls around my neck
I was still her little girl as she told me what they meant

Chorus 2
Memories and Pearls over time may fade
So I try to find a reason to wear them everyday
Far more precious than all the diamonds in the world
One by one, linked with love
Memories and Pearls

Bridge
As Mama took her last breath I was there to hold her hand
Another memory, perfect in God’s plan
Sometimes I catch her smile, in the mirror looking back
Another Pearl added to the strand…

Chorus 3
Memories and Pearls over time may fade
So I try to find a reason to wear them everyday
Far more precious than all the diamonds in the world
One by one, linked with love
Memories and Pearls

Now my daughter sits with me, at my vanity….
