Tender Years

by George Jones - written by Darrell Edwards

You keep saying you love him

  G7                C

I believe that it's true

And it just doesn't matter

    G7          C

How much I love you

C7

But in time you'll understand dear

     F          C

When you shed a tear

Then you'll know you were living

   G7          C

In your tender years

In your eyes there's a love light

     G7         C

That shines for him

But how long will it stay there

          G7              C

Will that love light grow dim

C7

You can just see the happiness

    F             C

You can't see the tears

Yes it's true  you've been living

   G7          C

In your tender years

So if I can't be your first love

     G7               C

I'll wait and be your last

I'll be somewhere in your future

        G7             C

To help you forget the past

C7

Then you'll know that I love you

       F              C

With a love that's sincere

'Cause I'll wait 'til you're through living

   G7          C

In your tender years

C7

Yes you'll know that I love you

       F              C

With a love that's sincere

Yes  I'll wait 'til you're through living

   G7          C

In your tender years
