Tears from your Baby's eyes are like Pearls from the sea.
String them up, they'll crystalize and save them all for me.
Someday you'll have your little Girl and when I'm old and gray
All I'll have is a string of Pearls, but pearls don't fade away.
Tears from your baby's eyes are as precious as can be
String them up they'll crystallize, and save them all for me!
