You keep saying you love me 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 That you are only living in your tender years (Tender years...) In your arms there's a lovelight and it shines for him How long will it stay there when the light run dim You can just see the happiness you can't see the tears You can't see 'cause you're living in your tender years (Tender years...) 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 love that's sincere I'll wait till you're thru living in your tender years And you'll know I love you with love that's sincere I'll wait till you're thru living in your tender years (Tender years...)
