[Verse 1] When the moon hung soft and low Catchin' stardust in the light You held me closer and closer There was magic in the night [Verse 2] A sweet love song, a melody That I still can recall Two young hearts filled with dreams To walk away with it all [Chorus] Whoa, whoa tender years Won't you wash away my tears How I wish you were here Please don't go, tender years [Verse 3] A summer love, a beach romance Sought her kisses in the sand Two young hearts filled with fire Lost in never never land [Chorus] [Instrumental] [Chorus] (x2) [Instrumental 2]
