When the rain came I thought youād leave
'cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
through the coldest winter Iāve ever known
If the mandolin wind couldnāt 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 couldnāt believe you kept a smile
Now I can rest assured knowing that weāve 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
Donāt have much but what Iāve got is yours
except of course my steel guitar
Ha, 'cause I know you donāt play
but Iāll teach you one day
because I love ya
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
could never, never change your mind
And I love ya
And I love ya
Lordy I love ya
