| I remember when I was a little girl,
|
| Growin' up livin' in my own little world,
|
| Or so it seemed;
|
| I had my dolls and dreams.
|
| Momma was always there,
|
| To comfort me an' give me love.
|
| An' there wasn’t nothin' quite like it,
|
| In the world that I knew of.
|
| Before I knew it, I was standin' in my teens.
|
| Sweet little boy with his strong young arms holdin' me.
|
| I remember the first time I felt his kiss,
|
| Ooh, it like to drove me crazy.
|
| And I remember sayin': «I never felt nothin' like this.»
|
| So I went and asked momma:
|
| «Can you tell me what it means?»
|
| She said: «You're in love and that’s every little girl’s dream.
|
| «Baby, what you found is every little girl’s dream.»
|
| So I said: «Momma, does love ever last?»
|
| She said: «Worry about now and let,
|
| «The future come to pass.
|
| «Just understand and enjoy what you’ve found.
|
| «And listen to it as long as your heart,
|
| «Hears the sound of love.
|
| «There ain’t nothin' quite like it,
|
| «In the world anybody knows of.»
|
| So there I was, all through my teens,
|
| Same little boy with his strong young arms lovin' me.
|
| I remember the first time I felt his kiss,
|
| Ooh, it like to drove me crazy.
|
| And I remember sayin': «I never felt nothin' like this.»
|
| An' I remember sayin' to momma:
|
| «I know just what you mean.
|
| «I'm in love and that’s every little girl’s dream.
|
| «What I found is every little girl’s dream.»
|
| And I found mine, and momma said:
|
| «Me too, baby, once upon a time.
|
| «It lifts you up, it lets you down.
|
| «There'll be another dream to bring you back around.
|
| «There's somethin' about the first time that keeps you rememberin',
|
| «When you found every little girl’s dream.»
|
| Every little girl’s dream.
|
| Found every little girl’s dream.
|
| (I remember the first time I felt his kiss.)
|
| I found every little girl’s dream.
|
| (I remember sayin': «Nothin' ever felt like this.»)
|
| I found every little girl’s dream.
|
| (I found someone and I fell in love.)
|
| I found every little girl’s dream.
|
| (Nothin' in the world quite like it anybody knows of.)
|
| I found every little girl’s dream.
|
| (I remember the first time I felt his kiss.) |
