"Tender Years" lyrics

Tender Years

Too much in love
Too young
To realise
She can't see
Past the stars
In her eyes

So don't take
Her love and
Leave her tears
These are her tender years

Every word
You whisper
Tenderly
She'll accept
And believe
Honestly

So don't take
Her young love
Recklessly
These are her tender years

She don't know
What you're doing
That you'll
Be her ruin
When that sparkle
In her eyes
Turns to tears

So think it over
And be sure
For her life's
So clean and pure
These are her tender years
These are her tender years
