(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
|
I have a heart that's proud you bet
|
I have a mind that won't forget
|
And I have arms that are strong and yet
|
Tender when they wanna to be
|
Well you can be the will that finds the way
|
And you can be the one who saves the day
|
But show me tender when it's time to say
|
Exactly how it ought to be
|
|
And I never would've known it darlin'
|
If I hadn't known about you
|
You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too
|
|
Well something happens when you find someone
|
Who makes you feel like you can do no wrong
|
No you don't have to take the whole world on
|
Just be tender when you want be
|
|
And I never would have known it baby
|
If I hadn't known about you
|
You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too
|
|
So let the waters carry us away
|
Wave goodbye to the old parade
|
Baby when we're unafraid
|
To be tender when we want to be
|
All the waters wash our cares away
|
All that we can see are better days
|
Don't ever let me hesitate
|
To be tender when I want to be
|
