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 Oh the snow fell without a break 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 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 Ha, 'cause I know you don't play but I'll teach you one day because I love ya 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 you down No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing Couldn't change a thing no, no The coldest winter in almost fourteen years could never, never change your mind And I love ya Yes indeed and I love ya And I love ya Lordy I love ya |

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give never think about myself If I gave you time to change my mind I'd find a way just to leave the past behind Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe If I listened long enough to you I'd find a way to believe that it's all true Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give never think about myself |

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor but then again no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I've been meaning to phone you, but from Minnesota Hell, it's been a very long time You wear it well A little old-fashioned, but that's alright Well, I suppose you're thinking how Betty is sinking Or he wouldn't get in touch with me Though I ain't begging or losing my head I sure do want you to know, that You wear it well there ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my Remember their basement parties, your brothers' cavorting The all-day rock-and-roll show The homesick blues and the radical views Haven't left a mark on you You wear it well A little out of line but I don't mind But, I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I'll believe it without even trying Now I'm eating my heart out Trying to get a letter through Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town And you sat down and cried on the stairs You knew it didn't cost the earth but for what it's worth You made me feel a millionaire You wear it well Madame Onassis got nothing on you; no, no And when my coffee is cold and I'm getting told That I gotta get back to work So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone Think of me and try not to laugh, and ( 2) I'll wear it well I don't object if you call collect 'Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I feel it without even trying Now I'm eating my heart out Trying to get back to you |
