Billy Joel Leave A Tender Moment Alone Lyrics

Leave A Tender Moment Alone Lyrics

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

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 even known
It's undeniably
real
Leave a tender moment alone

You got to leave a tender moment
alone
Leave a tender moment
Leave it alone
You've got to leave a
tender moment
Leave a tender moment alone
