Tender Years

You keep saying you love him and I believe that it's true

And it just doesn't matter how much I love you

But at time you'll understand, dear, when you shed a tear

You'll know that you were livin' in your tender years

In your eyes there's a love life that's shinin' for him

But now long will it stay there, will that love life grow dim

You can just see the happiness, you can't see the tears

It's true, 'cause you're livin' in your tender years

So if I can' be your first love, then I'll wait and be your last

I'll be somewhere in the 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 through livin' in your tender years

And you'll know that I love you with a love that's sincere

I'll wait 'il you're through livin' in your tender years
