1. 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.

2. In your eyes there's a love light that shines for him,
A D
but
how long will it stay there, will that love light grow dim ?
D7 G D
You can just see the happiness, you can't see the tears,
A D
it’s
true 'cause you're living in your tender years.

you with a love that's sincere,

thru living in your tender years.
