The melody for this song was lifted from a civil war ballad known as Aura Lee. It was exceptionally lyrical and much more colorful words:
“Aura Lea, Aura Lea
Maid with golden hair;
Sunshine came along with...
[Verse 1]
Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so
[Chorus]
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will
[Verse 2]
Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part
[Chorus]
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will
[Verse 3]
Love me tender, love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours, through all the years
'Til the end of time
[Chorus]
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will
