Gotta Have Tenderness

(Mitchell Torok - Ramona Redd)



The sun comes up in the morning

Over the neighboring hill

Breeze sings the song in the treetop

In tune with Mr. Whippoorwill.



Got to have tenderness got to have tenderness

We got to have love

Little white clouds are hurryin' somewhere

Along their way.



Across the highways of blue skies

They softly seem to say

Got to have tenderness got to have tenderness

We got to have love.



Everybody worries 'bout the place in the sun

But nobody worries 'bout love

But place in the sun won't be any fun

Well, it's love the world needs much more of.



Now the rain is falling

Out over the neighboring hill

Singing love song to each road in tune

With Mr. Whippoorwill.



Got to have tenderness got to have tenderness

We've got to have love

Yes, we got to have tenderness

Oh, got to have tenderness

And we got to have love...
