Love Him Like a Rock

There are at least two or three songs I can think of right off the bat that are perfect father/daughter dance songs for a wedding. Not so with the mother/son dance. Hard to think of any actually. But my Bubs better ask me to dance at his wedding. If he's so inclined. To get married. I already know he loves to dance. Not sure why I'm thinking ahead like this except that I heard the perfect song for us on the radio the other day (even if it is supposedly about Nixon). It's Paul Simon's "Loves Me Like a Rock." The melody is pure joy and the chorus says it all. Take a listen.



"Loves Me Like A Rock"

PAUL SIMON

When I was a little boy
And the devil would call my name
I'd say "Now who do...who do you think you're foolin'?"
I'm a consecrated boy
A singer in a Sunday choir

Oh Mama loves me, she loves me
She get down on her knees and hugs me
Oh she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like a rock of ages
Oh loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me

When I's grown to be a man
Hmm, and the devil would call my name
Say "Now who do...who do you think you're foolin'?"
I'm a consummated man
I can snatch a little purity

My Mama loves me, she loves me
She get down on her knees and hugs me
Oh she loved me like a rock
She rocked me like a rock of ages
She loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me

If I was the President
Hmm, and the Congress call my name
I'd say now "Who do...who do you think you're foolin'?"
I've got the Presidential Seal
I'm up on the Presidential Podium

Mama loves me, she loves me
She get down on her knees and hugs me
Oh she loved me like a rock
She rocked me like the rock of ages
She loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me
