Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The evening breeze
Caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees
Embraced the breeze tenderly
[Verse 2]
Then you and I
Came wandering by
And lost in a sigh
Were we
[Verse 3]
The shore was kissed
By sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget
How two hearts met breathlessly
[Verse 4]
Your arms opened wide
And closed me inside
You took my lips
You took my love so tenderly
Written by: Jack Lawrence, Walter Gross
