Tenderness

A simple country song about love, friendship and sensuality.

Words and music by Jim Byrne.

I know what it means to love
and I know tenderness
I pray I love the way you do to me
my love my friend my true

To learn is no substitute
you fill your head with thoughts
No books, contain the dreams of you
The dreams of you and I
and the pleasures of the flesh

You and I have learned together
Learned to live and love together
Lived a life now we can never part

No picture could never capture you
The beauty of your love
The fruits that I harvest now
Harvest all your love
and give it back to you.

I know what it means to love
and I know tenderness
I pray I love the way you do to me
my love my friend my true
