Forty Winters |
| Forty winters, cold and dark |
| Surround you like a beauty mark |
| A tilt on the axises |
| That time of year |
| And the flesh of your cheekbones |
| Says no damage here |
| The first time I saw you |
| There 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 worth |
| I’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 demands |
| 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 know |
| Forty winters, forty winters |
| Forty winters, forty winters |
| Forty winters, forty winters |
