Late Valentine

I'm listening to Nina Simone again. Such a voice. Every time I listen to this set (Four Women), a different song jumps out at me. Today it's this one (by Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein).

This is a man who thinks with his heart
His heart is not always wise
This is a man who stumbles and fall
But this is a man who tries

This is a man
You'll forgive and forgive
And help and protect
As long as you live

He will not always say
What you would have him say
But now and then he'll say
Something wonderful

The thoughtless things you do
Will hurt and worry you
Then all at once he'll do
Something wonderful

He has a thousand dreams
That won't come true
You know that he believes in them
And that's enough for you

You'll always go along
Defend him when he's wrong
And tell him when he's strong
He is wonderful

He'll always need your love
And so he'll get your love
A man who needs your love
Can be wonderful
