When the moon hung soft and low,    Catchin' stardust in the light    You held me closer and closer    There was magic in the night       A sweet love song, a melody    that I still can recall    Two young hearts filled with dreams    To walk away with it all       Whoa, whoa tender years    Won't you wash away my tears    How I wish you were here    Please don't go, tender years       A summer love, a beach romance    Sought her kisses in the sand    Two young hearts filled with fire    Lost in never-neverland.       Whoa, whoa tender years    Won't you wash away my tears    How I wish you were here    Please don't go, tender years
