Tender Years

You keep saying, you love him

I believe, that it's true

And it just doesn't matter

How much, I love you

But, in time you'll understand, dear

When you shed a tear

Then, you'll know, you were living

In your tender years, (tender years)

In your eyes, there's a lovelight

That shines for him

But, how long, will it stay there

Will that love light, grow dim

You can just see the happiness

You can't see the tears

It's true, you've been living

In your tender years, (tender years)

So, if I can't be your first love

I'll wait, and be your last

I'll be somewhere, in your future

To help you, forget the past

And you'll know, that I love you

With a love, that's sincere

'Cause, I'll wait, 'til you're thru living

In your tender years, (tender years)

Yes, you'll know, that I love you

With a love that's sincere

Yes, I'll wait, 'til you're thru living

In your tender years, (tender years)
