When the moon hung soft and low,

Catchin' stardust in the light

You held me closer and closer

There was magic in the night



A sweet love song, a melody

that I still can recall

Two young hearts filled with dreams

To walk away with it all



Whoa, whoa tender years

Won't you wash away my tears

How I wish you were here

Please don't go, tender years



A summer love, a beach romance

Sought her kisses in the sand

Two young hearts filled with fire

Lost in never-neverland.



Whoa, whoa tender years

Won't you wash away my tears

How I wish you were here

Please don't go, tender years
