BILLIE HOLIDAY - TENDERLY lyrics

Walter Gross / Jack Lawrence

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly

The trembling trees embraced 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
