Time has told me that is never too late
Love has showed me that life's sometimes made of
Sweet lies and make believe, yeah
Sharing moments, time stops...
Do you know?

On and on it's been a come and go
Can't we make this thing right?
(And I'm talkin' 'bout) you and me and nobody else,
Sharing moments, time stops...
As I hold you...

Tenderly, like a child in the cradle
Tenderly, as the smell of a flower
Tenderly, as you want us to be
Tenderly... as a sweet thought of you...

I believe that somebody brought you and
Dropped you right on my way
(And I'm talkin' 'bout) you and me and nobody else,
Sharing moments, time stops...
As I hold you...

Tenderly, like a child in the cradle
Tenderly, as the smell of a flower
Tenderly, as you want us to be
Tenderly... as a sweet thought of you...

And I believe that time is on my side
And I know that wherever you go
You just might be wasting life...
