From the recording Jukebox Deluxe, Volume 1
Lyrics
YOU ARE MY TENDERNESS
How many times will you ask me?
How many times must I say?
That I’m gonna be here tomorrow
Just like I was baby, yesterday
Those other lovers found their highways
Disappeared from your sight
But this time it’s gonna be different
I’ll do everything to keep things right
You are my loving kindness
You are my soothing kiss
You are my Sunday morning
Girl, you are my happiness
You are my inspiration
You are my sweet caress
You are my heart’s desire
Baby, you are my tenderness
Each day we’re are together
I fall deeper in love with you
It’s like the sky is crowded with rainbows
With sunlight dancing all over you
Through those moments of doubting
That came on strong and called my name
You held me tight, giving me shelter
Like a willow tree hides the rain
You are my loving kindness
You are my soothing kiss
You are my Sunday morning
Girl, you are my happiness
You are my inspiration
You are my sweet caress
You are my heart’s desire
Baby, you are my tenderness
You brought me love...
You brought me hope...
You brought me back to earth when I felt like I couldn’t cope
You brought me comfort...
You brought me rest...
You brought me your love and your tenderness
How many times will you ask me?
How many times must I say?
That I’m gonna be here tomorrow
Just like I was baby, yesterday
You are my loving kindness
You are my soothing kiss
You are my Sunday morning
Girl, you are my happiness
You are my inspiration
You are my sweet caress
You are my heart’s desire
Baby, you are my tenderness
You are my tenderness…
