Tender Years Lyrics
Eddie And The Cruisers
Lyrics
Tender Years
When the moon hung soft and low
Catching stardust in the light
You held me closer and closer
There was magic in the night.
A sweet love song, a melody
That I still can recall
Two young hearts filled with dreams
To walk away with it all.
Whoa, whoa tender years
Won't you wash away my tears
How I wish you were near
Please don't go, tender years.
A summer love, a beach romance
Sought her kisses in the sand
Two young hearts filled with fire
Lost in never-neverland.
Whoa, whoa tender years
Won't you wash away my tears
How I wish you were near
Please don't go, tender years.
Whoa, whoa tender years
Won't you wash away my tears
How I wish you were near
Please don't go, tender years.
Whoa, whoa tender years
Won't you wash away my tears
How I wish you were near
Please don't go, tender years.
