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 ‘Cause the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing And I know I love ya Oh the snow fell without a break Ah the 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 big 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 'Cause I know you don't play But I'll teach you some day ‘ Cause I love ya Oh, I recall the night we knelt and prayed Noticing your face was still 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
