Concert in Lexington, KY 6/23/10

[xfrt8dog]

I just saw Gordon last night in Lexington KY. He sang a song dedicated to his daughter, in the second set. He said she was 43 years old. It was a beautiful song. I've never heard it. Does anybody know the title of the song and when it possibly was written? I'd love to get the words to it. Thanks. John

The song was probably Fine As Fine Can Be.

In the Songbook Booklet he says " Dedicated to my daughter Ingrid who is (at that time) in her early thirties and has given me two Grandchildren.

It was on the Cold on the Shoulder album (1975)

I agree, it's beautiful.

yes it is Fine As Fine Can Be.. Ingrid has a son and daughter, both in their early 20's I believe.
It was very touching last November when she was in the audience at Massey one night and her father dedicated it to her and then sang almost the whole song while looking at her.

Lyrics:

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
