Gm F Dm
She only smiles, he only tells her
Em7 A7 Dm
that she's the flowers, the wind, the spring..
Gm F Dm
In all her splendor sweetly surrendring
Em7 A7 Dm
the love that innocence brings.
 
Gm7 C F Bbmaj7 Em7 A7 Dm
Almaz...pure and simple, born in a world where love survives.
Gm7 C F Bbmaj7
Now men will want her 'cause life don't haunt her;
Em7 A7 Dm A7 Dm7 Bbmaj7 Em7 A7
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 bind her.
I look around- has she ever bent?
 
Almaz,...
 
He throws her kisses, she shares his wishes;
I'm sure he's keen- without a doubt.
With love so captive, so solely captive...
I ask if I could play the part.
 
Almaz,...
 
Almaz, you lucky lucky thing.
Almaz, you lucky lucky thing.
