Tender Years

I see her through the ages She's a book of a thousand pages That you can't thumb Images of her are vivid Her beauty has not withered From her entrance in chapter one I'm in a story with her No, I can't live without her I can't imagine one I know it's growing daily Lately, I see how far we've come Memory is a servant And I have been observant There is a story to tell Laughter was distorted Wind came, plans were aborted Love scenes are at night I'm in a story with her No, I can't live without her I can't imagine one Walking through salt and water I see how far we've come Time is important Timing is more important Without it a story can end Heidelberg is a German city By a river, very pretty And it was there that timing was our friend Come on I'm in a story with her No, I can't live without her I just can't imagine one I know it's growing daily Lately I see how far we've come Foreign names and places These are the tender pages of short days and little sun I remember carrying a baby While you laid in bed waiting for another baby to come I'm in a story with her I know I can't live without her I just can't imagine one I know it's growing daily Lately I see how far we've come I'm in a story with her I know I can't live without her I just can't imagine one Walking through salt and water I see how far we've come See how far we've come See how far we've come See how far we've come See how far we've come
