Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She only smiles, he only tells her
That she's the flowers, the wind and the spring
In all her splendor, sweetly surrenderin'
The love that innocence brings
[Verse 2]
Almaz, pure and simple
Born in a world where love survives
Now men will want her 'cause life don't haunt her
Almaz, you lucky, lucky thing
[Verse 3]
Now I watch closely and I watch holy
I can't imagine love so rare
She's young and tender but will life bend her
I look around, is she everywhere?
[Verse 4]
Almaz, pure and simple
Born in a world where love survives
Now men will want her 'cause life don't haunt her
Almaz, you lucky, lucky thing
[Verse 5]
He throws her kisses, she shares his wishes
I'm sure he's king without a doubt
With love so captive, so solely captive
I ask if I could play the part
[Verse 6]
Almaz, pure and simple
Born in a world where love survives
Now men will want her 'cause life don't haunt her
Almaz, you lucky, lucky thing
[Verse 7]
Almaz, you lucky, lucky thing
Almaz, you lucky, lucky thing
