The Kind Of Man A Woman Needs

Handsome, no, my man ain't handsome

But there's a trace of a wondrous grace

In his weary face



Life has done its best to break him

But his strength and courage make him

Just the kind of man a woman needs



Tender, he ain't always tender

But in his eyes, something warm and wise

Lifts me to the skies



If his heart ain't always showing

It's a comfort just to know him

He's the kind of man a woman needs



Sometimes he'll grow angry

At some foolish things I do

Than he'll forgive to spare me pain



Times he'll know I'm troubled

So he'll laugh to cheer me through

Till my heart is light as summer rain



Youthful, no, my man ain't youthful

That time's gone by but his head is high

And his dreams won't die



Though he's had his share of sorrow

He looks forward to tomorrow

He's the kind of man a woman needs

He's the kind of man a woman needs
