Lyrics

[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

[Verse 2]

Oh, the snow fell without a break

Buffalo died in the frozen fields, ya 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

[Verse 3]

Oh, I never was good with romantic words

So the next few lines come really hard

I don't have much, but what I've got is yours

Except, of course, my steel guitar

'Cause I know you don't play, but I'll teach you one day

Because I love ya

[Verse 4]

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 ya down

No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing

Couldn't change a thing, no, no

Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Outro]

The coldest winter in almost fourteen years

Could never, never change your mind, yeah

Oh

And I love ya, yes, indeed, I love ya

And I love ya, Lordy, I love ya

Woo-hoo

And I love ya, Lord, I love ya
