|
When the rain came I thought you'd leave |
|
'cause I knew how much you loved the sun |
|
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm |
|
through the darkest nights I've ever known |
|
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing |
|
then I know I love ya |
|
Oh the snow fell without a break |
|
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know |
|
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years |
|
I couldn't believe you kept a smile |
|
Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst |
|
And I know I love ya |
|
Oh I never was good with romantic words |
|
so the next few lines come really hard |
|
Don't have much but what I've got is yours |
|
except of course my steel guitar |
|
Ha, 'cause I know you don't play |
|
but I'll teach you one day |
|
because I love ya |
|
I recall the night we knelt and prayed |
|
Noticing your face was thin and pale |
|
I found it hard to hide my tears |
|
I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down |
|
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing |
|
Couldn't change a thing no, no |
|
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years |
|
could never, never change your mind |
|
And I love ya |
|
Yes indeed and I love ya |
|
And I love ya |
|
Lordy I love ya |
