Tender Years

You keep saying you love me
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
That you are only living
in your tender years
(Tender years...)

In your arms there's a lovelight
and it shines for him
How long will it stay there
when the light run dim
You can just see the happiness
you can't see the tears
You can't see 'cause you're living
in your tender years
(Tender years...)

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 love that's sincere
I'll wait till you're thru living
in your tender years

And you'll know I love you
with love that's sincere
I'll wait till you're thru living
in your tender years
(Tender years...)
