Roy Drusky Lyrics
"Tender Years"

(Darrell Edwards)

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.

In your eyes there's a love light that shines just 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 because you're living in your tender years.

--- Instrumental ---

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
I'll wait till you're through living in your tender years.

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...
