[Verse 1] Her love ain’t wrapped in diamonds Don’t come with a velvet case It’s more like walking through an old-town market Finding something time forgot to erase You gotta slow down, take your time Look beneath what everybody leaves behind ‘Cause every time I think I’ve seen it all She uncovers another reason I fall [Pre-Chorus] Some treasures don’t shine in the light Some take a little searching to get right And every time I think I’ve reached the end I find something beautiful again [Chorus] She’s a jewel in the mess A little treasure I didn’t expect Just when I think I know her heart She shows me another precious part You can search the whole world over You won’t find a love like this ‘Cause underneath the ordinary There’s a little piece of heaven I don’t wanna miss She’s a jewel in the mess And somehow I keep finding more Every day I fall a little deeper Than I ever did before [Verse 2] She’ll leave a little laughter Where a hard day used to be Turn a quiet kitchen into somewhere That feels like the whole world belongs to me She ain’t perfect—and neither am I But there’s something magic in the way she tries And when the years put silver in her hair I’ll still be looking for those treasures hiding there [Pre-Chorus] ‘Cause love ain’t always polished gold Sometimes it’s the story that the scratches hold And every little mark along the way Is another reason that I wanna stay [Chorus] She’s a jewel in the mess A little treasure I didn’t expect Just when I think I know her heart She shows me another precious part You can search the whole world over You won’t find a love like this ‘Cause underneath the ordinary There’s a little piece of heaven I don’t wanna miss She’s a jewel in the mess And somehow I keep finding more Every day I fall a little deeper Than I ever did before [Bridge] So let the world chase diamonds Let ‘em count their gold I’ll take the little treasures That only time can hold Give me her morning smile Her hand inside of mine I’ll keep walking through this beautiful mess One jewel at a time [Final Chorus] She’s a jewel in the mess The kind you don’t just stumble on You find her with your heart And somehow you know you’ve found your home And if I had to search forever I’d gladly make that choice ’Cause every hidden treasure I find Still sounds like her voice She’s a jewel in the mess And baby, that’s the truth— I didn’t find the greatest treasure… The greatest treasure found me.
