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 that ski trail,

Where your kiss filled me with thrills,
(chorus)

A weekend in Canada, a change of scene,
C D7 G
Was the most I bargained for,

And then I discovered you,

And in your eyes, I found a love,
Bm Am - D7
That I couldn't ignore,

Down, down came the sun, fast, fast beat my heart,

From that day we'd never, never part,
