Mama, I remember what you told me
You said you wait for love before you fall
Well, 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
To hold him in his sleep

And I'm almost in love
I can feel myself falling
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart falling
'Cause I'm almost in
Yes, I'm almost in love

Mama, I've grown into a woman
I've been growing stronger day by day
Mama, you know about children
You raise them, then they 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

'Cause I'm almost in love
I can feel myself falling
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart falling
'Cause I'm almost
Yes, I'm almost in love

Yes, I'm almost in love
I can feel myself falling
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart falling
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can feel myself falling
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart falling
'Cause I'm almost
Yes, I'm almost in love

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
