Alathea
by Joel Howard

Tender a girl
Tender a place
Tender in my heart
Girl, that’s you today
Never more tender
Has my heart been made
Than the way that you move me
Compassion is laid
Clearer and surer and truer with you
Just know you move me
And I am with you
I’m happy when you are
Girl, I am with you!
