Lyrics Bill Withers

Bill Withers

Tender Things

Sweet and tender things

Are so much nicer than silly games

Softness

Makes it easier to smile

It's better to remember things

That make the sun shine in your memory

There's clouds enough for you to see

Smile for me and take a look around

And you know that you're in love when things

Are better than you thought they'd ever be

Won't you smile for me

I like what's going down

[hum interlude]

And you know that you're in love when things

Are better than you thought they'd ever be

Make a pretty smile for me

I like what's going down (since you've been around)

Sweet and tender things

Makes you feel better than playing games

Softness

Makes it easier to smile

You're in love when things

Are better than you thought they'd ever be

Smile for me

I sure do like what's going down (since you've been around)
