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 fallin’
Yes, I’m almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin’
‘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

And I’m almost in love
I can feel myself fallin’
Yes, I’m almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin’
‘Cause I’m almost in
Yes, I’m almost in love

Yes I’m almost in love
I can feel myself fallin’
Yes I’m almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin’
Yes I’m almost in love
I can feel myself fallin’
Yes I’m almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin’
‘Cause I’m almost
Yes, I’m almost in love
