Tender Years - John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band

When the moon hung soft and low, Catchin' stardust in the night You held me closer and closer There was magic in the night A sweet love song, a melody That I still can recall Two young hearts filled with dreams To walk away with it all Whoa, Whoa tender years Won't you wash away my tears How I wish you were here Please don't go, tender years A summer love, a beach romance Sought her kisses in the sand Two young hearts filled with fire Lost in never-never land Whoa, Whoa tender years Won't you wash away my tears How I wish you were here Please don't go tender years (Sax solo) then repeat twice

I'm tongue tied nothing to say, I guess we're doing it your way I'm speechless in a state of decay, Don't thing I'll last another day Baby you were timeless loving you was priceless In every single way Baby your defiance is enough to keep me silenced And I got a glimpse of the other side Showed me where your love resides But you won't let me in But you won't let me in And I kissed your neck when your sweat it dried Your salty skin a perfect white But you won't let me in But you won't let me in It's the sound from my heart breaking You just keep on taking Until there's nothing left Well how do you spend all of my time and all of my days Trying to hold your love or a reason to stay With either fighting Or living in silence Glistening skin like you're soaking wet, No I haven't stopped hoping yet And my love runs deep inside your bones, She said "i'm sorry again, then you'll let me go?" I got a glimpse of the other side Showed me where your love resides But you won't let me in But you won't let me in And I kissed your neck when your sweat it dried, Your salty skin a perfect white But you won't let me in But you won't let me in It's the sound from my heart breaking You just keep on taking Until there's nothing left Well how do you spend all of my time and all of my days Trying to hold your love or a reason to stay With either fighting Or living in silence It's the sound from my heart breaking You just keep on taking Until there's nothing left Well how do you spend all of my time and all of my days Trying to hold your love or a reason to stay With either fighting Or living in silence I got a couple of cardiac arrests down here too, Pete

Playing with fire as the room fills up with smoke It's my burning desire to fix what isn't broke Now tell me I'm wrong again I was left to my own devices Thought I found a friend Smoke and mirrors made me lightning It's all on me for you It's all I ever wanted to do And I wouldn't change a thing Loving you is like holding smoke The counters dry, become a joke I can't stop wanting you And all these things that you do You're like an anchor on my soul The fear of death running through my bones It's so cool wind of you I'm holding onto something new Now tell me I'm wrong again I was left to my own devices Thought I found a friend Smoke and mirrors made me lightning It's all on me for you It's all I ever wanted to do And I wouldn't change a thing Loving you is like holding smoke The counters dry, become a joke I can't stop wanting you And all these things that you do You're like an anchor on my soul The fear of death running through my bones It's so cool wind of you I'm holding onto something new

This is my design Stay in the lines This is my design We're intertwined This is my design Satisfied, so divine Divine interventions Stop me, going around in circles Going in, baby, no need to be careful All my days merge into one Whisper in my ear, "don't come undone now" All the time And everywhere I go I just can't get enough of you Driving me crazy My heart rates won't save me the truth But I love you through and through Stop me, going around in circles Going in, baby, no need to be careful All my days merge into one Whisper in my ear, "don't come undone now" All the time And everywhere I go I just can't get enough of you Driving me crazy My heart rates won't save me the truth But I love you through and through All the time And everywhere I go I just can't get enough of you Driving me crazy My heart rates won't save me the truth But I love you through and through All the time And everywhere I go I just can't get enough of you Driving me crazy My heart rates won't save me the truth But I love you through and through

We were like an empty glass These things weren't built to last So, so, put your face on, and smile when they talk to you It's not too hard, show complete disregard For, for anybody but yourself I hate it when you touch me, but I kept it under wraps Get bored during foreplay, and I think we're getting fat Tried to go the distance, but we're only wasting time Who're we kidding? This is our divide Need to go our separate ways, I'm too scared if you stay We'll hold another grudge, who am I to judge? If I will wake up one day and miss you too much Yeah, we play with high stakes, it's a risk I need to take Dirty beds and motels, cast your spell on someone else But you, but you You'll be happy over time, thank fuck for our decline With all I've done and all I say I've been loving you in a different way Tried to explain, you wash away the pain Things were never gonna stay the same This is our divide Need to go our separate ways, I'm too scared if you stay We'll hold another grudge, who am I to judge? If I will wake up one day and miss you too much Yeah, we play with high stakes, it's a risk I need to take Dirty beds and motels, cast your spell on someone else But you, but you You'll be happy over time, thank fuck for our decline
