Tender Years

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

I’m in a story with her, I know 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

Memory is a servant

And I’ve been observant

There is a story to tell

Laughter was distorted

Wind came plans were aborted

Love scenes are at night

I’m in a story with her, I know I can’t live without her

I can’t imagine one

Walking through salt and water, I see how far we’ve come

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, c'mon

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

Foreign names and places

These are the tender pages

Of short days and little sun

I remember carrying a baby

While you lay in bed waiting

For another baby to come

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

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
