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 that,
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.
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
Cause I'll wait till you're through
living in your tender years
Yes, you'll know that I love you
with a love that's sincere
Yes, I'll wait till you're through
livin' in your tender years.
