Tenderly - Herbie Mann's Californians, Jimmy Rowles

And for a day the world was ours

I will never forget although time may pass by

How you came to me so tenderly

The night was cold and it felt so old

Until you came with your youthful flame

And suddenly like freed from spell

The night felt young and hot again

And now that time has passed

I still remember your tenderness

Just the thought brings the warmest breeze to my memory

When you came to me so tenderly

Touch me again so tenderly

And I’ll survive every day

Cause I’m burning inside, by your sparkling side

Since you came to me so tenderly
