Tender Years

[Verse 1]
I see her through the ages
She’s a book of a thousand pages
That you can thumb
Images of her are vivid
Her beauty has not withered
From her entrance in chapter one

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 arе at night

[Chorus]
I’m in a story with her
No, I can’t live without her
I can’t imaginе one
Walking through salt and water
I see how far we’ve come

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]
Ah-ah

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Ah-ah
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
See...
