Tenderly I will speak -
kind words to you for sure,
because that's how friendships last,
and forever endure.

Tenderly I will cherish -
your words in my heart,
to listen to your pain -
from beginning to start.

Tenderly I will ask -
God's grace from above,
to embraces us as friends -
committed to His love.

Tenderly I will seek -
the beautiful things in life,
and give them all to you -
to remove all your strife.

Tenderly I will keep -
every feeling that you share,
