Even though I´m in love
Sometimes I get so afraid
I´ll say something so wrong
Just to have something to say

I know the moment isn´t right
To tell the girl a comical line
To keep the conversation light
I guess I´m just frightened out of my mind

But if that´s how I feel
Then it´s the best feeling I´ve even known
It´s undeniably real
Leave a tender moment alone

Yes I know I´m in love
But just when I ought to relax
I put my foot in my mouth
´Cause I´m just avoiding the facts

If the girl gets too close
If I need some room to escape
When the moment arose

I´d tell her it´s all a mistake

But that´s not how I feel
No that´s not the woman I´ve known
She´s undeniably real
So leave a tender moment alone

But it´s not only me
Breaking down when the tension gets high
Just when I´m in a serious mood
She is suddenly quiet and shy

Leave a tender moment
Leave it alone
(Leave a tender moment alone)

I know the moment isn´t right
To hold my emotions inside

To change the attitude tonight
I´ve run out of places to hide

And if that´s how I feel
Then it´s the best feeling I´ve ever known
It´s undeniably real, oh
Leave a tender moment alone

Ah (Leave a tender moment alone)
You got to leave a tender moment alone
(Leave a tender moment alone)
Leave a tender moment
Leave it alone
(Leave a tender moment alone)
You´ve got to leave a tender moment
(Leave a tender moment alone)
