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 love light
 That's shining 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, 'cause you're 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
 For I'll wait 'til you're through 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 through living
 In your tender years (tender years)
