The Rosemary Clooney Show / The Lux Show

Tenderly, music by Walter Lloyd Gross & lyrics by Jack Lawrence

Original Air Dates: 1956 - 1957 (syndicated), 1957 - 1958 (NBC)

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly
