 2x
 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
 4x
 x2
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
La  dadada la da la  dadada La  dadada la dada
 The coldest  winter in almost fourteen  years
 Could never,  never change your mind,  yeh
 And I love  ya
 Yes indeed and I love  ya
 And I love  ya
 Lordy I love  ya
 And I love  ya
 Darlin I love  ya. . .
