Love Me Tender, September Boy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The lights were low that autumn night, September stars, a gentle glow. A quiet song filled up the air, Love me tender, soft and slow. Twenty-four long hours of waiting, Then a cry, and love came whole. [Chorus] Oh, you came in on a melody, Full of light for all to see. A tender heart, a spirit strong, You were love your whole life long. We thank the stars, we thank the years, For all the joy, for all the tears. [Verse 2] At 1:49 you found your way, The very first of two that morn. Beautiful and bright and bold, A fighter's heart the day you're born. Independent, driven, sure, Timmothy, our light so pure. [Chorus] Oh, you came in on a melody, Full of light for all to see. A tender heart, a spirit strong, You were love your whole life long. We thank the stars, we thank the years, For all the joy, for all the tears. [Bridge] That beautiful smile, that wonderful voice, The quick-witted way you make us rejoice. Fierce and loyal, courageous and true, Timmothy, there's no one like you. [Verse 3] You guard the ones you hold so dear, With sharp bright mind and confidence. A deep, deep love for family, A strength that needs no evidence. So just because, we sing this now, To let you know somehow, somehow. [Chorus] Oh, you came in on a melody, Full of light for all to see. A tender heart, a spirit strong, Timmothy, you belong. We thank the stars, we thank the years, For all the joy, for all the tears. [Outro] Soft as that old tender song, You've been our love your whole life long. Beautiful boy, forever true, There will always be love for you.
