              E6 - E 
Once I was alone, so lonely and then 
 
A               Am7               E6 - E            B7 
You came out of nowhere, like the sun up from the hills; 
 
 
E6 - E 
Cold, cold was the wind; warm, warm were your lips, 
 
A                 Am7                  E6 - E 
Our there on that ski trail where your kiss filled me with thrills. 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
A            B7      E 
A weekend in Canada,   a change of scene, 
 
A        B7               E 
Was the most I bargained for; 
 
A           B7             E            C#m 
And then I discovered you,  and in your eyes 
 
   G#m    C#m7/5-   F#m            B7 
I found a love that I couldn't ignore. 
 
 
E6 - E       
Down, down went the sun; fast, fast beat my heart. 
 
A               Am7               E6 - E          B7     E 
I knew when the sunset, from that day we'd never, ever part.
