The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly.

The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.

The 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.
