The original lyrics to “Tenderly”<\/font><\/p>\n

The evening breeze caressed the trees
\ntenderly
\nThe trembling trees embraced the breeze
\ntenderly
\nThen you and I came wandering by
\nAnd lost in a sigh were we
\nThe shore was kissed by sea and mist
\ntenderly
\nI can’t forget how two hearts met
\nbreathlessly
\nYour arms opened wide and closed me inside
\nYou took my lips, you took my love
\nso tenderly
\n<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\n

My Autumn breeze-related rewrite<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

The autumn breeze can make you sneeze
\nsoggily.
\nYou’ll cough and wheeze from that cold breeze
\nfitfully.
\nThen in a haze you’ll hunker for days
\ntill you’ll want to cry, you see.
\nLike door that’s kissed by your tight fist
\npainfully,
\nyou won’t forget, though you’ll regret,
\nconsciously.
\nYour mouth opened wide, and closed them inside.
\nYou took my lips, you took my germs,
\ncontagiously.<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
