You keep saying you love him I believe that it's true
And it just doesn't matter how much I love you
But in time you'll understand dear when you shed a tear

Then you'll know you were living in your tender years
In your eyes there's a love light that shines just for him
But how long will it stay there till the love light grows dim
You can just see the happiness you can't see the tears
It's true cause you're living in your tender years
[ steel ]
So if I can't be your first love I'll wait and be your last
I'll be somewhere in your future to help you forget the past
And you'll know that I love you with the love that's sincere
Cause I'll wait till you're through living in your tender years
And you'll know that I love you with the love that's sincere
Cause I'll wait till you're through living in your tender years
