Soft and Tender

M-ake it soft and tender, A-s the breeze in the morning; R-ough road in front of you I-s hard to pass in the evening. C-an you make it soft and tender? A-h! you really can do it; R-earrange the kind of life, free and far from anger's hit. R-oll it soft and tender, E-very move that you make; M-ight be so very smooth P-art that can easily break. I-t can be done soft and tender, L-oving the touch of the new-born; L-et it be real gentle, O-n July twelfth early morn. A-ct soft and tender B-efore the Lord Almighty; L-earn to be a mild servant, A-ccepting your divine duty. N-ot careless in handling love, E-ven if others are hell-for-leather; D-evil-may-care you're not, A-s you hold it soft and tender.
