Tender Years

I see her through the ages
 She's a book of a thousand pages
 That you can't thumb
 Images of her are vivid
 Her beauty has not withered
 From her entrance in chapter one
 I'm in a story with her
 No, I can't live without her
 I can't imagine one
 I know it's growing daily
 Lately, I see how far we've come
 
 Memory is a servant
 And I have been observant
 There is a story to tell
 Laughter was distorted
 Wind came, plans were aborted
 Love scenes are at night
 I'm in a story with her
 No, I can't live without her
 I can't imagine one
 Walking through salt and water
 I see how far we've come
 ♪
 Time is important
 Timing is more important
 Without it a story can end
 Heidelberg is a German city
 By a river, very pretty
 And it was there that timing was our friend
 Come on
 I'm in a story with her
 No, I can't live without her
 I just can't imagine one
 I know it's growing daily
 Lately I see how far we've come
 ♪
 Foreign names and places
 These are the tender pages of short days and little sun
 I remember carrying a baby
 While you laid in bed waiting for another baby to come
 I'm in a story with her
 I know I can't live without her
 I just can't imagine one
 I know it's growing daily
 Lately I see how far we've come
 
 I'm in a story with her
 I know I can't live without her
 I just can't imagine one
 Walking through salt and water
 I see how far we've come
