Everything A Man Could Ever Need

(As recorded by Glen Campbell)

(From the movie 'Norwood')

Looking back on the days

When I was scuffling for a buck

Not overly concerned with life and love

I was always feeling sorry

For myself and my bad luck

I never stopped to think what life’s made of

With my nose to the grindstone

And my collar to the wheel

I fought for my daily dollar like a man

Then you came into my life

And nothing else seemed real

I found the answer right here in my hands

Now I’ve got everything a man could ever need

I’ve got dreams to dream and songs to sing

In the morning

I’ve got hands to hold my baby-child

And eyes to watch my woman smile

I’ve got everything a man could ever need

Now my working days seem shorter

Than they ever did before

And the evening breeze gets cooler day by day

And the morning sun is always shining

Down on my backdoor

And your laughter washes all my tears away

And there’s not a day goes by

When I don’t look up to the sky

And humbly thank the good Lord up above

For bringing you to me in time

To make me realize

That all a poor man really needs is love

Now I’ve got everything a man could ever need

I’ve got dreams to dream and songs to sing

In the morning

I’ve got hands to hold my baby-child

And eyes to watch my woman smile

I’ve got everything a man could ever need

I’ve got everything a man could ever need
