Lyrics A String of Pearls - Glenn Miller and His Orchestra
Deborah
conway
A
long
time
ago
when
my
mother's
hands
were
all
my
world
She
taught
me
everything
there
was
To
know
about
holding
and
being
held
Like
a
grain
of
sand
in
on
oyster
shell
The
seed
of
knowledge
grows
The
small
thing
becomes
a
pearl
At
the
tender
age
when
everything
is
unfamiliar
I
can
remember
all
the
rough
play
princess
and
the
wild
crusader
Never
too
shy
for
a
mission
of
discovery
I
learnt
about
the
well
of
my
curiosity
Some
wear
their
heart
on
their
sleeve
Some
wear
the
patience
of
saints
Some
wear
the
weight
of
the
world
on
their
shoulders
I
just
wear
my
string
of
pearls
My
string
of
pearls
The
first
time
that
i
really
fell
in
love
I
gave
half
my
heart
away
and
taking
care
of
half
of
his
Proved
we
were
old
enough
All
of
those
teenage
radio
songs
About
romance
that
lasts
forever
Well
i
found
out
they'd
got
it
wrong
Waiting
for
gurus
or
gypsies
or
gods
Under
these
burning
clouds
Searching
for
comfort
above
When
i
joined
a
band
to
be
a
rock
'n'
roll
star
I
tasted
how
sweet
it
was
to
be
the
girl
that
everybody
wanted
Playing
in
their
bar
Spotlights
shine
on
me
'Cos
when
the
party
s
over
You're
just
a
waste
of
electricity
I
got
a
life
i
guess
it
suits
me
pretty
well
I
gotta
crawl
down
narrow
alleyways
To
heaven
or
stroll
boulevards
to
hell
Bead
by
bead
of
wisdom
and
poetry
At
the
blind
paths
and
avenues
Dimly
lit
by
my
rosary
Some
wear
a
crown
of
thorns
Some
wear
out
their
welcome
But
somewhere
over
the
rainbow
I
will
wear
my
string
of
pearls
My
string
of
pearls
I
will
wear
my
string
of
pearls
