|
Forty winters, cold and dark |
|
Surround you like a beauty mark |
|
A tilt on the accesses |
|
That time of year |
|
And the flesh of your cheekbones |
|
Says no damage here |
|
The first time |
|
I saw youThere was ice on the ground |
|
And the girl in the greenhouse said |
|
Paradise found |
|
Forty winters, forty winters |
|
Forty winters straight in line |
|
Were you not my valentine? |
|
Orange blossoms and sandal woods |
|
Oaken moss and musk |
|
Will fragrance your senses |
|
From daylight till dusk |
|
You made the simple life |
|
Fit for a king |
|
An oaten meal by candle light |
|
A beautiful thing |
|
Forty winters, forty winters |
|
Forty winters, forty winters |
|
Why can't |
|
I break the spell |
|
Shake you and make you well? |
|
What is it blinding me |
|
That keeps you from finding me? |
|
I know you're in there |
|
You haven't gone somewhere |
|
That God only knows about |
|
Leaving me frozen out |
|
Darling, I promise you this |
|
I won't let you drown in the mist |
|
Forty winters, dark and drear |
|
Could not age you one short year |
|
It's like |
|
I'm trapped beneath the bell jar |
|
As big as the earth |
|
And I'm running to reach you |
|
For all that |
|
I'm worthI'll bathe you and feed you |
|
And I'll tend to your grace |
|
But don't make me leave you |
|
In such a dark place |
|
I'm drunk on the bitterness |
|
That sorrow and [Incomprehensible] |
|
And I know that tomorrow |
|
Is out of my hands |
|
Until we're together |
|
I'll sleep in the snow |
|
And I'll love you forever' |
|
Cause that all |
|
I knowForty winters, forty winters |
|
Forty winters, forty winters |
|
Forty winters, forty winters |
