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)
