Gordon Lightfoot lyrics for someone born on the last day of April! (You are probably too young to know this song, but listen if you have a chance):
“As fine as fine can be”
You’re as soft as the rose
You’re as sweet as the honey
You’re as warm as the bright morning sun
Your’e as cool as the breeze on the last day of April…
You’re as fine as fine can be.
Congratulations, Trent.
