lyrics

one day
i'm gonna give you beads on a string
cause that's how we impress me one time to another

and let's see
around your neck it could make a ring
and if it happens to suit your dress
you can wear it if you wanna

we get together in passing
when our travels are crossing
we tell each other our stories
we laugh and frown at our worries

we seem to start a lot in silence
then words are coming up to find us
we pry, we shy and let it linger
to form a crystal on your finger, so

one day
i'm gonna give you beads on a string
cause that's how we impress me one time to another

and let's see
around your neck it could make a ring
and if it happens to suit your dress
you can wear it if you wanna

and every time we are meeting, we're coming up with something
it don't have to mean much but it's got that certain touch

what's this that's got us caught inside it and what does it tell
that smile, that sigh, i think i saw it in patterns on a shell

one day
i'm gonna give you beads on a string
cause that's how we impress me one time to another

and let's see
around your neck it could make a ring
and if it happens to suit your dress
you can wear it if you wanna

we come into an understanding and the beads get fuller
we come into an understanding, wear it if you wanna
