"Tenderly" shares the loving, supportive and bittersweet reflections of a father on his daughter's wedding day. Lyrics: Verse: Your newborn eyes would look around with wonder At all the things to see. Your shaky cries would hit me just like thunder Sayin’, “Daddy, rescue me!” Chorus: So, tenderly, carefully, I took you in my arms and Tearfully, prayerfully, promised you from my heart that Through the years, joy and fears, I would help you find your way. So, tenderly, I’ll be here for you. Verse: Dressin’ up, you looked like Cinderella Playin’ house and servin’ tea. Puppy love and frustrations with a fella. I’m so glad you came to me. Chorus: ‘Cause, tenderly, carefully, I held you in my arms and Tearfully, prayerfully, promised you from my heart that Through the years, joy and fears, I would help you find your way. So, tenderly, I’ll be here for you. Bridge: Memories so precious to me seem like yesterday. How could it be that it’s time to give my little girl away? Chorus: Now, tenderly, carefully, I offer you my arm and Tearfully, prayerfully, walk with a breaking heart but Through the years, joy and fears, Together you will find your way. So, tenderly, he’ll be there for you. Close: Yes, through the years, joy and fears, Together you will find your way. So, tenderly, he’ll be there for you. Yes, tenderly, he’ll be there for you. And tenderly,… my little girl,… I love you.
