Intro:) 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 in - side; You took my lips, you took my love so ten - der - ly. (Instrumental Interlude: first verse) 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 in - side; You took my lips, you took my love so ten - der - ly.
