FINE AS FINE CAN BE
Gordon Lightfoot
1975
Gordon Lightfoot
You're as soft as the rose
You're as sweet as the honey
You're as warm as the bright morning sun
You're as cool as the breeze on the last days of April
You're as fine as fine can be.
You're like time is to space
You're like faith is to trusting
You're like blue is to feeling unkind
You're like joy is to love,
You're like dreams are for chasing
You're as fine as fine can be.
And when I am gone my thoughts are all with you
You're my little angel you see
You're as bright as the moon
You're as light as a feather
You're as fine as fine can be
Like the rain is for the crops
You're like food for my thoughts
You're like true is for knowing what's not
You're like leaves are for trees
You're like bees are for buzzing
You're as fine as fine can be.
You're as bright as the moon
You're as light as a feather
You're as fine as fine can be.
