Through All That Long And Tender Night

Through all that long and tender night When love was young and new We held each other oh so tight And swore that we'd be true With arms entwined and racing hearts We sealed our promised bond And through that long and tender night To each we did respond The moon shone bright upon our love And blessed us with its glow Her gentle light around us fell - But this was long ago For through one long and tender night The spark that burned so strong Became a quiet fading flame That faltered all night long And through the years that followed on The love we knew had died So through each long and tender night I cried and cried and cried Yet love can change and lose its roar Becoming sure and deep A love that binds two souls as one - So there's no need to weep Yes, through that long and tender night The flame when love was new Was never meant to last at all But still it flickers true And time has brought a stronger bond That keeps us side by side So through this long and tender night Our love has not yet died It's thus a flame that's soft and warm That flickers through the day Now in this long and tender night Together we shall stay - Oh yes, together we shall stay
