Hush baby, don't cry Just try to remember the time When all your pitfalls and fears Became mine And we fall apart Just one thing takes me back to the start Chorus: Tenderness Put my heart to rest Your tenderness Hits me to the bone Tenderness When my head's a mess Your tenderness Keeps me coming home Hush baby, don't cry This rings in my head all the time And still I tend to forget your words When I'm the swan in my full dive Just one thing keeps me alive Repeat Chorus Bridge: And so it seems to me To all of us here The answer is clear That you need a little less stress And some more tenderness Repeat Chorus
