Chorus:
Once I was alone,

So, lonely and then,

You came, out of nowhere,

Like the sun up from the hills.
Cold, cold was the wind,
Warm, warm were your lips,
Out there, on the ski trail,

Where your kiss filled me with thrills.

 

Bridge:

A weekend in Canada, a change of scene,
Was the most I bargained for.
And then I discovered you, and in your eyes,
I found a 1ove that I couldn't ignore.

 

Chorus:

Down, down came the sun,
Fast, fast beat my heart.
I knew, as the sun set,

From that day, we'd never part.
