Mama I remember what you told me

You said you wait for love before you fall

But mama I am sorry I guess it's gonna be love after all

Cause mama when he holds me the air is thick and sweet

He asked me if I'd come tonight and hold him in his sleep



And I'm almost in love I can feel myself falling

Yes I'm almost in love I can hear my heart calling

Cause I'm almost in yes I'm almost in love



Mama I've grown into a woman

I been growing stronger and stronger day by day

Mama you know about children

You raise them then they'll go away

Mama when he holds me he thrills me through and through

So dry your eyes and teach me how to say goodbye to you



Cause I'm almost in love ...

Yes I'm almost in love...
