[00:47.249] That shines for him
[00:51.074] But how long will it stay there
[00:55.327] Will that love light grow dim?
[00:58.634] You can just see the happiness
[01:02.835] You can't see the tears
[01:06.334] It's true, 'cause you're living
[01:10.357] In your tender years. (tender years.)

[01:24.273] So if I can't be your first love
[01:29.633] I'll wait and be your last

[01:36.918] To help you forget the past
[01:40.671] And you'll know that I love you
[01:45.716] With a love that's sincere
