It seems like only yesterday
That she sat upon my knee
But last night she sat me down
And had a talk with me
"Now, mama
Don't get excited
And don't you be alarmed
It's true I slipped
And fell today
But only in his arms
And then I started crying
But he kissed all the tears away
Mama, your little girl
She's gone
She fell in love today"
And then she said
"Now, mama
We're not playing
Games for this little girl are gone
He told me
That he loves me
And I've known it all along
He slipped a ring
On my finger
And I accepted
Right away
Mama, your little girl
She's gone
She fell in love today"
And I told her
"Honey, it's a dream
Come true for me
I've been praying for so long
For that someone to
Come along
And make you his very own
But now, honey
Now that you've found him
Well
You gotta love him all the way"
I know my little girl is gone
She fell in love today
