"Tenderly" lyrics

I was in a modern daze
Of finding all the better ways to be
Then you caught my eye
And the world caught on fire
And I said "I maybe don't know"

You lived in a castle where
The sun sang out a little prayer a day
How all of my needs fell like rosary beads
Oh, millions just there for the show

I loved the part when you just ask my name and
The choir sang and the roses grew a metaphors-y ways
Well you knew my stories, though dumb and boring
You never looked, you never looked away (way, way, way)

Tenderly
It's how you speak to me
It's how you say the little lies that keep my mind quiet at night
We can dance, though I really can't dance
Though I know you'll still smile
Because you're happy to be dancin'
With your prince who's got two left feet
And clams for hands

Darlin' dear, I know these signs
They made you weary
But feel these feelings
They're stronger than a tangible array
While I'll never know all I feel for you
I'll always know that all I feel is true (true, true, true)

Tenderly
It's how you speak to me
It's how you say the little lies that keep my mind quiet at night
We can dance, though I really can't dance
Though I know you'll still smile
Because you're happy to be dancin'
With your prince who's got two left feet
And clams
Clams for hands
