Lyrics (Anna Adamis):
One day the sun, too tired to shine
Slept in the deep, green sombre lake
And in the darkness, the world did ail
Until she came, for all our sake.

Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Is she real or just made of air
Life went on as before
Man would live once more...

Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Is she real or just made of air
La la la lalala la la lalala la laaaaaa

The dawn did break and she went home
Back to the deep, dark seas alone
She lives in a world of fairy tales
Her lovely hair and only pearls.

Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Is she real or just made of air
Long since she's been asleep
In the ocean deep.

Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Is she real or just made of air
La la la lalala la la lalala la laaaaaa

Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Is she real or just made of air
Long since she's been asleep
In the ocean deep.

Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Is she real or just made of air
La la la lalala la la lalala la laaaaaa

And when you feel lonely and blue
A little star will fall on you
White child in pearls your way will show
As did white stones long years ago.

Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Is she real or just made of air
I know she'll wait for me
She will set me free.

Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Is she real or just made of air
I know she'll wait for me
She will set me free.

Oh that girl with pearls in her hair
Is she real or just made of air
La la la lalala la la lalala la laaaaaa

La la la lalala la la lalala la laaaaaa

La la la lalala la la lalala la laaaaaa...
