I got kissed by a turtle dove
Upon a cold Paris manger
I was waking up to my love
First moment dawning danger

Everything was new
Every sock and shoe
My face and your face
Tenderly renewed
Tenderly renewed

I awoke to find a whiteness inside
Everything did shine, slyly, from each body
Halos from within, diamonds the year in
As we crossed to where the virgin Mary
Moves over the fields
Here and there, she kneels
Sighing sweet relief upon the prairie

Everything was new
Every sock and shoe
My face and your face tenderly renewed

As the rich winds blow
Kiss each flamingo
Tussle reckless trains
Of the wild white horses

And at night the owl
Streaks the field and howls
She seizes a kitten
Stops wind aghast to hear them shudder

Everything was new
Every sock and shoe
My face and your face tenderly renewed

Tenderly renew
Tenderly renew
Tenderly renew
Tenderly renew

Everything was new
Every sock and shoe
My face and your face tenderly renewed

Tenderly renew
Tenderly renew
Tenderly renew
Tenderly renew
