Tender Years lyrics

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 she'd a tear
Then you'll know you were living
In your tender years.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/conway_twitty/tender_years.html ]
In your eyes there's a lovelight
That shines for him
But how long will it stay there
Will that lovelight 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 thru 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 thru living
In your tender years...
