Note to self: try a little more tenderness, Wes.
Dude, pull up a seat and listen again to this piece of goodness from classic screen legend Jimmy Durante. Through his seasoned distinctive gravel-and-staccato speak/sing style, take in some enduring life-coaching that you need to heed:
We’re all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, a kiss
When a woman loves a man
He’s a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be
If he’ll just realize
She may be weary
Women do get weay
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she’s weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she’s waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess
But while she’s without ’em
Try a little tenderness
It’s not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
And a word that’s soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won’t regret it
Women don’t forget it
Love is their whole happiness
It’s all so easy
Try a little tenderness
You won’t regret it
Women don’t forget it
Love is their whole happiness
It’s all so easy
Try a little tenderness
Wes, note to self: grow in loving your wife. Try a little tenderness. You won’t regret it. She won’t forget it.
