The Ruby and the Pearl Nat King Cole

THE RUBY AND THE PEARL

Can love be as warm as the ruby?
Can love be as pure as the pearl?
Just look in the heart of my love for you;
You'll find the ruby and the pearl.
My love will endure as the diamond;
It shines with the shimmer of gold.
It glows as a bright star above for you,
A thing of beauty to behold.
**Come close and cling to my kiss.
Come close and share the passion of this.
Yes, love is as warm as the ruby;
And love is a pure as the pearl.
Just look in the heart of my love for you;
You'll find the ruby and the pearl.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at bridge**.)
Tag: You'll find the ruby and the pearl.
