There are things, Mother, that you don't know
Like who I am and where I go
But every day your voice says the same thing:
"Girl, don't you go too fast.
"Live but make the moments last
There'll be time for dying when you're my age"


But, Mother, I feel so suffocated.
All my hopes and dreams have faded.
Should I run or stand still?
I'm afraid to fall....
So afraid to move at all
And I can't have what I need the most.


Oh, Mother, I've found my angel
The one who wouldn't change me
And I would never leave him
Not for anything you could dream to give me
Oh, Mother, he has my heart
Had it from the very start
And for once I am truly me
I'm truly happy


Oh, Mother, I'm so in love
He's the one I want
I've found the one I need
And when I wasn't looking
He became my everything


All my hopes and dreams have come to light
I'm dancing in the sun
I've fallen and it's so amazing
His smile stills my very soul
And dear Mother, at last I'm whole
I have what I need the most


Oh, Mother, I've found my angel
The one who will never change me
And I will never leave him
No, not for all the world
Dear Mother, he has my heart
Had it from the very start
And for once I am truly me
I'm truly happy


Oh, Mother, I'm so in love
He's the one I want
I've found the one I need
And now that I am looking
I see that he's become my everything


Oh, Mother, I'm so in love
He's the one I want
I've found the one I need
And now that I am looking
I see that he's become my everything


Oh, Dear Mother,
I'm not sorry that I love him.
