Randy Crawford - Almaz (LYRICS)

Randy Crawford - Almaz (LYRICS)
She only smiles
He only tells her
That she's the flowers, the wind and spring
In all her splendor sweetly surrendering
The love that innocence brings
Almaz, pure and simple
Born in a world where love survives
Now men will want her
'Cause life don't haunt her
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 bend her
I look around is she everywhere
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, You lucky lucky thing
Almaz, You lucky lucky thing

[@dmcgwhisper5945]

Can't even imagine anyone else singing this. It's masterful. Perfect rendition.

[@grahampalmer9337]

How can you not 'fill up' on hearing this? Almaz - diamond in Arabic. One truely priceless, diamond of a song.

[@SuperBettyBoo57]

the power of this song is that it reaches into your very soul.....and caresses it!

[@michaelray9958]

So true....... Grabs me every time...

[@beakfordclakington1337]

if women had ANY STREGNTH AND MORALITy to see it... they would know their privilidge... and this is how sensitive men feel about them... priviidged that men will priviildge her, cos likfe dont haunt her. she dont go through anythig like wwhta men go thru. or at least hardly ever did., their weaker wills would give up before they suffer. but., really.... torurous decades of hating men physically and mentally and emotionally... and claiming mens roles... sometimes thier lives... and throwing them away afterways...

[@elloco1996]

The most underrated singer in history, and this may well be her best song.

[@abstegmann]

Pleasant memories of my childhood. Before life was overwhelming.

Music is to feel not to think 💚

[@lynnoliver5889]

I heard this song when I was very, very young. It's such a beautiful song, but no other song made me feel so broken and rejected. A beautiful tragedy.

[@nathalyvd]

such a beautiful song with lots of memories

[@luisaguilera7]

It touched me from the very first notes. Almaz' beauty is Chrystal clear reflected in this song and Randy's unique voice.

[@carliellewellyn-george3014]

Randy has such an amazing voice! I just don't undestand why she isn't hugely popular in the US.

[@errolsalkey9424]

The best voice ever

[@user-tu7ub5ux1t]

The piano's amazing sound, the fantastic lyrics, the magic and angelic voice of Randy Crawford - It is so amazing! I cry tears of joy and happiness when I listen to this lovely song...

[@Bristolchannelhunters]

No, I don't think so either.

There are other beautiful songs. And others as beautiful as this. But _more_ beautiful… nope, not a chance.

[@ma.asunciongabiana9213]

This

[@joannecampbell3666]

This song, though I've liked it many times, I'm liking it again, because I can, and above all she is one who created music that could both haunt and truly warm my heart. Truly timeless. True beauty - she doesn't try to be some big super star or make loads of money from it, but simply with her heart she is a true star. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JacquiCrawford]

One of my favourite songs by Randy....love this!

[@JacquiCrawford]

***** I know....she's amazing...I love her music too...

[@samsonncapayi4624]

Best ever written song. I have been listening to this many, many times over the years.

[@sasastojanovic46]

MY GOD,THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL,SO TOUCHFUL AND SO SENSITIVE.

[@121Loopyloo]

I love this song so much, it's so heartfelt & pure and I think that this song holds a place in everyone's heart. This song is sad for many reasons for me, it was the wedding song of my dad and stepmum and when they went through a bitter divorce and they projected their hate onto me, I used to turn to this song, even at a small age it made me feel as if everything would be ok. Years on, I still turn to it now and when my close friend died of leukaemia, this was my lifeline... :( xxxx

[@daloolakhaled867]

Im sorry you went through all this

[@su237]

[@Rotschild1957]

I always cry when I hear this song. Makes me think of these girls all alone with parents fighting or parents separated, feeling that daddy left because of her. Terrible....

[@johnconway8070]

[@philipthomas5108]

A very beautiful and haunting song...

[@risumotus]

Randy wrote this song on request of an Etheopian refugee. He wanted a song for his much younger wife, Almaz. Randy was inspired by their love and wrote this song.

[@luannepatrick2053]

@@risumotus ...wow...really....I didn't know that.....hope their love survived the test of times....🌹🌹

[@ubarcusaugier413]

Wow didnt know that. Makes me love it even more now. Wow just wow

[@NormaHassan]

Ive heard this song after so long and yet l got goosebumps So pure and simple

[@Emanuel01161963]

one of my favourite songs what a beautiful voice and what a strong emotion thank you!!!!

[@adriankeen6401]

lovely tune i remember this being on radio when i was in the army i was listening to it on the radio in my office excellent song

[@violetavikajeremic3932]

"Almaz" was written about a couple of Eritrean refugees who were neighbours of Crawford's. The man asked Crawford to write a song about his wife, who was named Almaz (which means "diamond" in Amharic, Arabic and a number of other languages). In the song, the singer reflects on their rare form of love. In Crawford's own words, "I witnessed this perfect love affair between them, although she was considerably younger than him. This beautiful couple with their baby. As refugees they were looking for 'a world where love survives'."

[@tuesdaydelaney4480]

Beautiful Beautiful Song

[@doreenwatson-read]

This came out when i was a lot younger , I thought an still think its the dreamiest love song ever. I wanted to be Almaz

[@Venusstar22]

And the best ting about this is...Randy's voice hasn't deteriorated one bit..she still sounds the same. I watched her 2011 performance in Germany on KZbin recently and she was 59 years old at that time...this year she'll be 60 (if she isn't already by now) and she sang BEAUTIFULLY. I you ever want to see that performance and all the songs she sang just type in "RANDY CRAWFORD & JOE SAMPLE TRIO"..it's the 1st on that pops up with 59:37 minutes. Her voice is ageless :-) :-) :-)

[@zeinamneimneh7568]

I cried from the song It is sooooooooooooo awesome I'm like OMG😮😮😮😮😮😮😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@dimitrioumarina9249]

a dream song

[@jonichen9212]

I discovered this song in a compilation of love songs my parents had when I was a kid. Its where I found out about this one and also old and wise by Alan parsons. This song is perfect . in every way

[@TREV617]

I think the subject is so fragile, that's why the lyrics sum it all up, as nothing lasts forever and you are lucky to experience the feeling at all of a true love albeit lost,thats the way life is, bit sad but true, fabulous song beautifully sung.

[@henna4187]

I remember when i was a kid, sit in the back of the car in evening while going somewhere with my mom and grandmom and heard this from the radio. Still love this and remember that time when i was like under 6 years old ❤️

[@annabellesinger3717]

thanks for the lyrics makes you cry!

[@Jompish]

:'(

[@1crofters]

Whoever you are, what lovely sentiments very well put.

[@Izzymoggington]

A song about someone who has the perfect love and the adoration for that person who deserves it x

This song was actually written by Randy, considering she's more famous for her sublime and tranquil voice.

[@IKnowitAllYeah]

A lovely song which my husband (now ex) said he thought of me... I think of it as an incredibly sad song as it showed how naive I was at the time.. and I had a weakness for men that told me they loved me.. but were loving others in between. But .. I still love this song all the less.. beautiful.. still haunts me

[@TREV617]

the most beautiful song!!!!!!!
