歌词

She only smiles,

He only tells her,

That she’s the flowers the wind and spring,

In all her splender sweetly surrendering

The love that innocence brings.

Almaz, pure and simple,

Born in a world where love survives.

Now men will want her,

And life don’t haunt her,

Almaz you lucky lucky thing.

Now I watch closely

And I watch wholly,

I can’t imagine love so rare.

She’s young and tender,

But will life bend her,

I look around is she every where?

Almaz, pure and simple,

Born in a world where love survives.

Now men will want her,

And life don’t haunt her,

Almaz you lucky lucky thing.

He throws her kisses,

She shares his wishes,

I’m sure he’s king with out a doubt.

With love so captive,

So sorely captive,

I’d ask if I could play the part.

Almaz, pure and simple,

Born in a world where love survives.

Now men will want her,

And life don’t haunt her,

Almaz, you lucky lucky thing.

Almaz, you lucky lucky thing.

Almaz, you lucky lucky thing.
