Lyrics: Bette Midler. Bette Midler Sings The Rosemary Clooney Songbook. Tenderly.

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 inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly

Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly
