pearl in a world of dirt

when the night shapes secret dreams

that i cannot change

when the moon weaves tender silk to veil the day

then i know you'll make the magic feel so alive

when the stars send gentle words i wish i could say

then i hear your heart a thousand miles away

you are always in my dreams

my reason to live

you are always in all my dreams

my reason to give

you are my pearl in a world of dirt

i will be yours forever

you are my flame

my heat

my spark

like a fire in a world so dark

you are my pearl in a world of dirt

this love cannot be measured

you're my escape from a world of hurt

my delight in a world absurd

you're my pearl in a world of dirt

when your heart began to sleep i wished i could pray

when your soul went up to start her final way

i woke up to find my world no longer alive

when the stars speak gentle words i wish i could say

look into my eyes a million miles away

'cause i'm still here in your dreams

your reason to try

and i know here in my dreams our love will survive

you are my pearl in a world of dirt

i will be yours forever

you are my flame

my heat

my spark

like a fire in a world so dark

you are my pearl in a world of dirt

this love cannot be measured

you're my escape from a world of hurt

my delight in a world absurd

you're my pearl in a world of dirt

you're my pearl in a world of dirt
