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 trustin’
You’re like blue is to feelin’ unkind
You’re like joy is for love,
You’re like dreams are for chasin’
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 knowin’ what’s not
You’re like leaves are for trees
You’re like bees are for buzzin’
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
