Текст песни Leave a Tender Moment Alone, Billy Joel

00:00

Even though I m in loveSometimes I get so afraidI ll say something so wrong
Just to have something to sayI know the moment isn t right
To tell the girl a comical lineTo keep the conversation light
I guess I m just frightened out of my mindBut if that s how I feel
Then it s the best feeling I ve even knownIt s undeniably real
Leave a tender moment aloneYes I know I m in loveBut just when I ought to relax
I put my foot in my mouthCause I m just avoiding the facts
If the girl gets too closeIf I need some room to escapeWhen the moment arose
I d tell her it s all a mistakeBut that s not how I feel
No that s not the woman I ve knownShe s undeniably real
So leave a tender moment aloneBut it s not only me
Breaking down when the tension gets highJust when I m in a serious mood
She is suddenly quiet and shyLeave a tender momentLeave it alone
I know the moment isn t rightTo hold my emotions inside
To change the attitude tonightI ve run out of places to hide
And if that s how I feelThen it s the best feeling I ve even known
It s undeniably realLeave a tender moment alone
You got to leave a tender moment aloneLeave a tender momentLeave it alone
You ve got to leave a tender momentLeave a tender moment alone
