Lyrics for Tender Things

Sweet and tender things Are so much nicer than silly games Softness Makes it easier to smile It's better to remember things That make the sun shine in your memory There's clouds enough for you to see Smile for me and take a look around And you know that you're in love when things Are better than you thought they'd ever be Won't you smile for me I like what's going down And you know that you're in love when things Are better than you thought they'd ever be Make a pretty smile for me I like what's going down (since you've been around) Sweet and tender things Makes you feel better than playing games Softness Makes it easier to smile You're in love when things Are better than you thought they'd ever be Smile for me I sure do like what's going down (since you've been around)
