There are always people important to us, how we grow and live - the dreams we have, the pleasures we get. This is a celebration of three particular people who between them have made twenty five thousand fine days!

lyrics

She was always there when I needed
Her to comfort and provide me
With the hope to set me on my long and lonely way
Across the wide sea
All the freedoms that she seeded
Selfless, she was there beside me
Filling my knapsack for a traveller’s day
Had to test my wings
The sky was beckoning

I can hear her sing
One fine day, this is one fine day
The moment’s calling and it’s one fine day
Lullaby love, lullaby
Lullaby love, lullaby
One fine day

The orange fire burned on the beach
Away from town with bottles strewn
She slipped into my waiting arms - I was ripe, kinda ready
The stars were falling down
I knew she was way out of reach
And she was – just like the moon
She was rock and roll, I was a Steady Eddie
The sun rose on the sea
The sand was filigree

I can hear her sing
One fine day, this is one fine day
The moment’s calling and it’s one fine day
Summertime love, summertime
Summertime love, summertime
One fine day

The city sleeps ochre and grey
Her lashes long eyes closed in bed
Dreaming of I don’t know what - no kiss, no tell
The world may never know
The kids will come on Christmas Day
Bring the partners they might wed
We’ll make it paradise at the Family Motel
The snow will lie all around
Angel bells swing about

I can hear them sing
One fine day, this is one fine day
The moment’s calling and it’s one fine day
One fine day, this is one fine day
The moment’s calling and it’s one fine day

Butterfly love, butterfly
Butterfly love, butterfly
One fine day
