a tender lie

Dolly Parton

As you walk away
As we say goodbye
What I wouldn't give
For a tender lie

Say you'll never stop loving me
Just as if it were true
How much more damage, now honestly
Could one tender lie do
When we fall so far
Are we wrong to try
To keep out the truth
With a tender lie

Say you're gonna come back to me
And I'll believe that it's true
How much more damage, now honestly
Could one tender lie do

Say you're gonna come back to me
And I'll believe that it's true
How much more damage, now honestly
Could one tender lie do
How much more damage, now honestly
Could one tender lie do
