Tender Years Lyrics - Tender Years - George Jones

(Written by Darrell Edwards) 

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 (tender years)

In your eyes there's a lovelight 

That shines for him 

But how long will it stay there 

Will that love light grow dim 

You can just see the happiness 

You can't see the tears 

Yes it's true, you've been living 

In your tender years (tender years) 

Instrumental 

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 'til you're thru living 

In your tender years (tender years) 

Photos 

Yes, you'll know that I love you 

With a love that's sincere 

Yes, I'll wait 'til you're thru living 

In your tender years... (tender years)...
