Robert Forster - Tender Years

I see her through the ages
She's a book of a thousand pages
That you can thumb
Images of her are vivid
Her beauty has not withered
From her entrance in Chapter One
I'm in a story with her, I know I can't live without her
I can't imagine one
I know it's growing daily, lately I see how far we've come

Memory is a servant
And I've been observant
There is a story to tell
Laughter was distorted
Wind came plans were aborted
Love scenes are at night
I'm in a story with her, I know I can't live without her
I can't imagine one
Walking through salt and water, I see how far we've come

Time is important
Timing is more important
Without it a story can end
Heidelberg is a German city
By a river very pretty
And it was there that timing was our friend
I'm in a story with her, I know I can't live without her
I just can't imagine one
I know it's growing daily, lately I see how far we've come

Foreign names and places
These are the tender pages
Of short days and little sun
I remember carrying a baby
While you lay in bed waiting
For another baby to come
I'm in a story with her, I know I can't live without her
I just can't imagine one
I know it's growing daily, lately I see how far we've come
I'm in a story with her, I know I can't live without her
I just can't imagine one
Walking through salt and water, I see how far we've come

See how far we've come
