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 playin' 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 prayin' 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've gotta love him all the way
I know my little girl is gone
She fell in love today
