Tenderly - Duke Ellington, Pi Ano, Johnny Hodges

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
