But in time you'll [D7]understand dear, when [G]you shed a [D]tear.
Then you'll know you were living, in [A7]your tender [D]years. (tender years)
Verse 2
[D]In your eyes there's a love light, that's [A7]shining for [D]him.
But how long will it stay there, will that [A7]love light grow [D]dim?
You can just see the [D7]happiness, you [G]can't see the [D]tears.
It's true cause your living, in [A7]your tender [D]years. (tender years)
