Lyrics Willie Nelson – Tender Years

You keep saying you love him and I believe that it’s true
And it just doesn’t matter how much I love you
But at time you’ll understand, dear, when you shed a tear
You’ll know that you were livin’ in your tender years

In your eyes there’s a love life that’s shinin’ for him
But now long will it stay there, will that love life grow dim
You can just see the happiness, you can’t see the tears
It’s true, ’cause you’re livin’ in your tender years

So if I can’ be your first love, then I’ll wait and be your last
I’ll be somewhere in the 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 ’til you’re through livin’ in your tender years
And you’ll know that I love you with a love that’s sincere
I’ll wait ‘il you’re through livin’ in your tender years
