| I remember when I was a little girl,
 | 
| Growin' up livin' in my own little world,
 | 
| Or so it seemed;
 | 
| I had my dolls and dreams.
 | 
| Momma was always there,
 | 
| To comfort me an' give me love.
 | 
| An' there wasn’t nothin' quite like it,
 | 
| In the world that I knew of.
 | 
| Before I knew it, I was standin' in my teens.
 | 
| Sweet little boy with his strong young arms holdin' me.
 | 
| I remember the first time I felt his kiss,
 | 
| Ooh, it like to drove me crazy.
 | 
| And I remember sayin': «I never felt nothin' like this.»
 | 
| So I went and asked momma:
 | 
| «Can you tell me what it means?»
 | 
| She said: «You're in love and that’s every little girl’s dream.
 | 
| «Baby, what you found is every little girl’s dream.»
 | 
| So I said: «Momma, does love ever last?»
 | 
| She said: «Worry about now and let,
 | 
| «The future come to pass.
 | 
| «Just understand and enjoy what you’ve found.
 | 
| «And listen to it as long as your heart,
 | 
| «Hears the sound of love.
 | 
| «There ain’t nothin' quite like it,
 | 
| «In the world anybody knows of.»
 | 
| So there I was, all through my teens,
 | 
| Same little boy with his strong young arms lovin' me.
 | 
| I remember the first time I felt his kiss,
 | 
| Ooh, it like to drove me crazy.
 | 
| And I remember sayin': «I never felt nothin' like this.»
 | 
| An' I remember sayin' to momma:
 | 
| «I know just what you mean.
 | 
| «I'm in love and that’s every little girl’s dream.
 | 
| «What I found is every little girl’s dream.»
 | 
| And I found mine, and momma said:
 | 
| «Me too, baby, once upon a time.
 | 
| «It lifts you up, it lets you down.
 | 
| «There'll be another dream to bring you back around.
 | 
| «There's somethin' about the first time that keeps you rememberin',
 | 
| «When you found every little girl’s dream.»
 | 
| Every little girl’s dream.
 | 
| Found every little girl’s dream.
 | 
| (I remember the first time I felt his kiss.)
 | 
| I found every little girl’s dream.
 | 
| (I remember sayin': «Nothin' ever felt like this.»)
 | 
| I found every little girl’s dream.
 | 
| (I found someone and I fell in love.)
 | 
| I found every little girl’s dream.
 | 
| (Nothin' in the world quite like it anybody knows of.)
 | 
| I found every little girl’s dream.
 | 
| (I remember the first time I felt his kiss.) |
