Time, Love and Tenderness — Piano, Vocal & Guitar Sheet Music
Michael Bolton’s iconic love song, professionally arranged for piano, vocals and guitar by Paul Lorenz — 600 DPI, performance-licensed, instant download
Some songs resist being played badly — and Time, Love and Tenderness is one of them. Written by Michael Bolton and Diane Warren and released in 1991, this defining romantic ballad has graced more wedding receptions and special occasions than almost any other song of its era. The editions available from mass-market publishers at commodity prices reflect that mass-market approach: small staves, poor resolution, typography that looks out of place on a professional music stand. This edition is different.
Paul Lorenz’s piano, vocal, and guitar arrangement delivers the quality the song deserves: professional engraving at 600 DPI, clean chord symbols that any guitarist can sight-read, and a layout optimized for both home printing and iPad performance. A performance license is included as standard — use it at any wedding, reception, or public event with complete confidence. For pianists and small ensembles who want sheet music that looks as professional as the performance itself, this is the edition.
