Hush baby, don't cry

Just try to remember the time

When all your pitfalls and fears

Became mine

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And when 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
