C F G7 C
It's just a mother's way to worry through the day
F G7
Bout every little thing like falling off a swing
C
When you are out at play
F G7 C
The years slide quickly by the summers seem to fly
F G7
And then you move along you break out on your own
C
But you don't see her cry
F
For a while she hides behind a smile
G7 C
But then her eyes reveal she worries still today
F
Take her hand show her you understand
G7 C
A little tenderness will go a long long way
F G7 C
And now the years have flown she's sitting all alone
F G7
With all her photographs and memories of the past
C
She's glad when you come home
F
For a while she hides behind a smile
G7 C
But then her eyes reveal she worries still today
F
Take her hand show her you understand
G7 C
A little tenderness will go a long long way
F
For a while she hides behind a smile
G7 C
But then her eyes reveal she worries still today
F
Take her hand show her you understand
G7 C
A little tenderness will go a long long way
G7 C
A little tenderness will go a long long way
