Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then, you and I came wandering by
And lost in our sigh were we
[Verse 2]
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide
And closed me inside
[Verse 3]
You took my lips
You took my love
So tenderly
[Verse 4]
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly, tenderly
Then, you and I came wandering by
And lost in our sigh were we
[Verse 5]
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly, breathlessly
Your arms opened wide
And closed me inside
[Verse 6]
You took my lips
You took my love
So tenderly
