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
|
<Interlnde>
|
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
|
<Interlnde>
|
Oh I never was good
|
with romantic words
|
so the next few lines
|
really hard
|
Don't have much
|
but what I've come 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
|
<Interlnde>
|
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
|
<Interlnde>
|
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
|
