Tender Years

(D. Edwards)



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.



In your eyes there's a lovelight

That shines for him

But how long will it stay there

Will that lovelight grow dim

You can just see the happiness

You can't see the tears

Its true 'cause you're living

In your 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 till you're thru living

In your tender years.



Yes, you'll know that I love you

With a love that's sincere

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

In your tender years...
