Tenderly (Nat King Cole & Oscar Peterson)

Tenderly

(Words and Music by Gross and Lawrence)
 

The evening breeze caress the trees,
Tenderly.
The trembling trees embrace the breeze,
Tenderly.

Then you and I came wandering by,
And lost in a sigh were we.
The shore was kissed by sea and mist,
Tenderly.

I can't forget how two hearts met,
Breathlessly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly.

Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly.

You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly.
