Tender Heart

As the days go by and the time really

flies. The passing of years, filled with

happiness and tears. Where is that little

girl, is she hidden inside? Come out from

your hiding place, don't be shy

Here I am she whispered, I'm here close to

you, here in your heart, watching over you

Here I stand a woman full grown

Pretending on the outside wherever I roam

To be happy as a lark, and carefree as a dove

Not taking anyone serious, not even to love

The little girl whispers to me deep inside

You have to start living, stop hurting inside

I must talk with someone, someone I can

trust, someone to heal this very tender heart

The little girl again whispers very softly

You just have to be patient, sincere and

caring. Want it with all your heart, it's

worth the sharing

I have found someone to share my heart

with. Someone who's understanding and

kind from the start. My heart starts to soften

I've wasted so many years. But, it was worth

the crying, with so many tears

It cleansed my soul, the hurt thru the years

I have found true happiness, and a love that

is so dear.

I'm a woman now that feels great to

be alive, and the little girl does not

whisper to me deep inside

She's out in the open, sharing our

life together, she's grown up to

seems like it took forever...

That little girl and I are one

and the same, so little time and much

to gain. Our tender heart

Has melted into one

Our tender heart

Is bright like the morning sun...
