My 2024 Valentine's Day song for my dear Bride.
As we age, things change: higher pain, greater sacrifice, deeper love.
We lean on each other, and evert day is Valentine's Day.

lyrics

Dang Fool - words and music by Darrell Elmer Rodgers
Copyright 2024 Darrell Elmer Rodgers

I was a surprised the first time
she showed her love for me
I was an old curmudgeon
she was young and fresh and free

But here we are years later
still walking side by side
but my pace is slowing, my age is showing
to a point I just can't hide

~Chorus~
She's a Dang Fool - That's what I told her
She's a Dang Fool - For lovin’ someone older
She's a Dang Fool - and I'm grateful as can be

Sometimes I'll forget things
and leave a chore undone
She's there to remind me
that I'm the lucky one

She cooks my meal each evening
and does my laundry too
She won't even ask for help
unless there's something she can't do

~Chorus~
She's a Dang Fool - That's what I told her
She's a Dang Fool - For lovin’ someone older
She's a Dang Fool - and I'm grateful as can be

~ instrumental music ~
~Bridge~
I don't recommend you love a younger one
Although I'll admit that it sure is fun
So if you find a young one with an older soul
It just might be right to let the good times roll!

~Chorus~
She's a Dang Fool - That's what I told her
She's a Dang Fool - For lovin’ someone older
She's a Dang Fool - and I'm grateful as can be


We've both got lots of issues
our doctors all agree
so maybe it's a good thing
we're together, she and me.

What one can't do, the other can
and that's the magic key
It takes all our working parts
to make one good body

~Chorus~(twice)
She's a Dang Fool - That's what I told her
She's a Dang Fool - For lovin’ someone older
She's a Dang Fool - and I'm grateful as can be

She's a Dang Fool - That's what I told her
She's a Dang Fool - For lovin’ someone older
She's a Dang Fool - and I'm grateful as can be
~ end ~
