Now men will want her
And life don't haunt her
Almaz, You lucky lucky thing
Now I watch closely
And I watch wholly
I can't imagine love so rare
She's young and tender

I look around is she everywhere
Almaz, so pure and simple
Born in a world where love survives
Now men will want her

He throws her kisses
She shares his wishes
I'm sure he's keen without a doubt
With love so captive
So solely captive
I ask if I could play the part
Almaz, so pure and simple
Born in a world where love survives
Now men will want her
And life don't haunt her
Almaz, You lucky lucky thing
Almaz, You lucky lucky thing
Almaz, You lucky lucky thing
Almaz was written by Randy Crawford.
Almaz was produced by Reggie Lucas.
