To love yourself so dearly and tenderly
Must be a script written throughout your life
For a night like tonight
For a day like today
When you are the only one
Left standing with you
When you are the only one
Sitting beside yourself
To love yourself so dearly and tenderly
Let it be the light that pierce through your night
When the evening shadows are all you see
And their silence is all you hear
Find it in the depth of your despair
To be kind and all loving
With the love that has carried you through
Through the ragging years
To love yourself so dearly and tenderly
Let it be the embrace that carries you through.
