Mama, I remember what you told me
You said you wait for love before you fall
Well, 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
To 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 falling
'Cause I'm almost in
Yes, I'm almost in love
Mama, I've grown into a woman
I've been growing stronger day by day
Mama, you know about children
You raise them, then they 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
I can feel myself falling
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart falling
'Cause I'm almost
Yes, I'm almost in love
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can feel myself falling
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart falling
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can feel myself falling
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart falling
'Cause I'm almost
Yes, I'm almost in love
