She's the pearl
In this ugly
And cruel world.
The blooming flower
In the dying field.
Keep her close.
You don't want her to drown,
Or blow away.
Keep her close,
Or you'll lose her.
She's the rock,
That keeps you from floating away.
She's the balloon,
That keeps you from sinking too low.
She's always on your mind,
You keep on smiling,
Just because you have her.
Keep her close.
She's the diamond
In the rough,
That you don't find too easily.
