lyrics

Ricky Rochelle - My Perfect Gem

Something wasn’t right before
No matter how I tried
My search felt like forever
I traveled with no guide
And when I took that journey
I looked throughout the land
To find a gem that’s worth the hype
At least that’s what I planned

Then you shined just in time and became my greatest find
Oh I can’t believe you’re real, I keep rubbing my eyes
Though I once had to roam and sift with a fine-tooth comb
I’m so glad I found you now, my perfect gem
I’m so glad I found you now, my perfect gem

I spent years on the back roads
That wandering got old
I started to fear all I’d find
Would prove to be fool’s gold
I came across a mining town
Way out there in the west
That’s where I found the brilliant jewel
The answer to my quest

Then you shined just in time and became my greatest find
Oh I can’t believe you’re real, I keep rubbing my eyes
Though I once had to roam and sift with a fine-tooth comb
I’m so glad I found you now, my perfect gem
I’m so glad I found you now, my perfect gem

I marvel each and every day
I’m dazzled by your glow
I thought I knew what precious was
But now I really know
I didn’t need an jackhammer
A shovel worked just fine
If I said I dug you
Would you always be mine, mine, mine?

Then you shined just in time and became my greatest find
Oh I can’t believe you’re real, I keep rubbing my eyes
Though I once had to roam and sift with a fine-tooth comb
I’m so glad I found you now, my perfect gem
I’m so glad I found you now, my perfect gem.
