Tender Tornado

TENDER TORNADO - Written by Carroll Bryant

When I first saw you I was in ecstasy 

When I first touched you

The pure delight in me was released 

But if I knew that I would fall in love with you

And that you would walk away

I would have looked the other way

But you swept me - away

Like a tender tornado

I don't know why I didn't see it coming 

I don't know

Try to make it I said to myself

She's there for the taking 

You are love, I said unto myself

She is the answer

She's got the power

She's got the love

But now I know

I played the part of the fool

Employed by the feeling of the love I felt for you

And you swept me - away

Like a tender tornado

I don't know why I didn't see it coming 

I don't know, I don't know why

I tried to catch a lucky star

I failed so now I wear the scar

The pain is white as snow

Hurts deep down in my soul

You swept me - away

Like a tender tornado

I don't know why I didn't see it coming

I don't know, I don't know

I got caught up in the magic of love

With you

And I got so swept away

Girl, you swept my heart away from me

And you swept me - away

Like a tender tornado

I don't know why I didn't see it coming

I don't know why I let it happen

I don't know, I don't know

I don't know why
