PEARL
Chris McClenney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My pearl, my shine, oh you
You, you're mine
My pearl, my shine, oh you
The portrait of us now, a one way mirror
Silence speaks so loud, you couldn't be clearer
I'll always fight the wave no doubt, forever I'm here cause
(I'll always remember) The butterfly's when we had our, first kiss in LA
(I'll always remember) It was summertime and I can feel the heat in the eyes you gave me
Do you remember the promises made to you the first night I stayed
I'll never surrender, you know together were better
(always remember)
You, you're mine
My pearl, my shine, oh you
You, you're mine
My pearl, my shine, oh you
You, you're mine
My pearl, my shine, oh you
You, you're mine
My pearl, my shine, oh you
You, you're mine
My pearl, my shine, oh you
You, you're mine
My pearl, my shine, oh you
You
You're my pearl, you're my, you're my pearl, you're my
