Precious Pearl
In Search of a Lost Love: Radney Foster's Precious Pearl
Lyrics
He left you behind the same way you left me
I won't boast or bore you with a triumphant speech
Darling I won't take pride
Expressing humility, not wanting to brag
Or bore you with some victory speech
I didn't come to judge you; I'm searching for something valuable
I didn't come around to try and pass judgement on you girl
Seeking a precious thing that slipped away
I'm just back here looking for a precious pearl
Regret for losing a cherished love
A precious pearl that I let slip right through my hands
A love I've desired since losing it
A precious love that I have longed for ever since
Wondering how such a rare treasure was left behind
How'd a treasure so rare get left behind somewhere
My anger blinded me, leading to my foolishness
I was fool to let my anger blind me girl
Returning to seek something valuable
So I'm just back here looking for a precious pearl

SOLO
Memories of enjoyable times destroyed with our relationship
The good times we once shared
The past cannot be fixed
Burned up with our last bridge
But there might be a possibility of starting anew
And the past can't be repaired
Expressing willingness to re-enter her life as a friend
But we might start all over again
Seeking the same valuable thing once more
So if you could use a old friend back here in your world
Remorse for losing a precious love
Darling I'm just looking for a precious pearl
A love I've desired since losing it
A precious pearl that I let slip right through my hands
Wondering how such a rare treasure was left behind
A precious love that I have longed for ever since
My anger blinded me, leading to my foolishness
How'd a treasure so rare get left behind somewhere
Returning to seek something valuable
I was fool to let my anger blind me girl

So I'm just back here looking for a precious pearl
