'he's So Fine'
‘HE’S SO FINE’ a song from the 60s sung by the Chiffons
A wet afternoon in early December
I yearn for the summer I can hardly remember
Such a dismal day so grey and so dark
Feeling like daylight never made a start
‘Sounds of the Sixties’ was blaring from my radio
songs from our youth we had loved so long ago
A few months back I‘d sent a mail; a new spot on the show
called ‘Magic Moments’; a dedication played upon the radio
Imagine my surprise to hear the DJ speak our names
Recalling how we’d met my love; you set my heart aflame
The song that I had chosen; a special tune of yours and mine
was playing through my radio; The Chiffons, ‘He’s So Fine’
Tears were rolling down my face, recalling when we met
A dance hall on a summer’s night; a night I'll not forget
As the DJ says your name, memories come flooding back
This era was ours; those songs of our youth; he plays our youthful soundtrack
Such joyful memories pervade my mind, listening to the Chiffons
Though sadly listening all alone; ten years have passed since you’ve been gone
But I can hear and see your smile and know you’re listening all the while
For you were truly ‘Oh So Fine’ my dearest husband, eternally mine
