* 21-bar intro
* Verse 1 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.
* Break
* Verse 2 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.
* Break
* Verse 3 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 ha, �cause I know you don�t play,
But I�ll teach you one day
Because I love ya.
* Mandolin solo
* Verse 3 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.
* Vamp Ooh-ooh-ooh.
La-da-da-da.
La-da, la-da-da-da.
La-da-da-da.
La-da-da-da.
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
Could never, never change your mind, yeah.
Ooh-ooh.
And I love ya.
Yes, indeed, and I love ya.
And I love ya.
Lordy, I love ya, ooh-ooh.
And I love ya.
Oh, I love ya.
