~ Tender Years ~

Oh Lord, don't let me forget
All those tender years
The ones that I hold close
The ones that I hold dear.

I want to remember them all
Those old tunes and old songs
They make my spirit sing
They make me feel I belong.

I want to remember the romance
The time I got my first kiss
The butterflies in my stomach
Oh this I surely miss.

I want to remember the closeness
When I had my first dance
The look you had given me
With just one quick glance.

I want to remember how it felt
With my very first love
All of the kisses he gave me
And especially all the hugs.

Oh dear Lord you have to know
My memories are fading away
Let me reminisce and recall
Help me to remember yesterday.
