Hush baby, don't cry

Just try to remember the time

When all your pitfalls and fears

Became mine



And we fall apart

Just one thing takes me back to the start



Chorus:

Tenderness

Put my heart to rest

Your tenderness

Hits me to the bone

Tenderness

When my head's a mess

Your tenderness

Keeps me coming home



Hush baby, don't cry

This rings in my head all the time

And still

I tend to forget your words



When I'm the swan in my full dive

Just one thing keeps me alive



Repeat Chorus



Bridge:

And so it seems to me

To all of us here

The answer is clear

That you need a little less stress

And some more tenderness



Repeat Chorus
