Forty Winters
F#Forty Bwinters F#cold and Bdark surF#round you C#like a Bbeauty F#mark
A Btilt of the F#axis says Bthat time of F#year
And the Bflush of your F#cheekbones says Bno damage F#here
The Bfirst time I F#saw you twas iBce on the F#ground
A Bgirl in a F#green house meant Bparadise F#found
BFor F#Forty BWintersF#, B F#forty BWinters F# B
F#Forty BwintersF#, B F#forty BwintersF# B
Forty winters straight in line were you not my valentine
Orange Blossom’s Sandalwood Oak Moss and Musk
Fragrant the senses from daylight till dusk
You made the simple life fit for a king
And oatmeal by candle light a beautiful thing
For Forty Winters, forty Winters
Forty winters, forty winters
BWhy can’t I break the spelBbml shake you and make you well
D#mWhat is it blinding me that F#keeps you from finding me
BI know you’re in there, yoBbmu haven’t gone somewhere
D#mGod only knows about F#leaving me frozen out
G#mDarlin’ I can promise you this I wont let you drown in the mist
Forty winters cold and drear could not age you one short year
It’s like your trapped ‘neath a 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 tend to your grace
But don’t make me leave you in such a dark place
I’m drunk on the bitterness sorrow demands
And I know that tomorrow is out of my hands
Until were together I’ll sleep in the snow
I’ll love you forever and that’s all I know about
Forty Winters, forty Winters
Forty winters, forty winters
