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 it when you shed a tear Then you'll know you were living in your 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 go ***? You can just see the happiness, you can't see the tears Yes it's true, you've been living in your 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 Then you'll know that I love you, the love that's sincere Cause I'll wait till you're through living in your tender years Yes you'll know that I love you, the love that's sincere Yes I'll wait till you're through living in your tender years Tender years
