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

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 the love that I couldn't ignore

Down, down came the sun

Fast, fast, fast, beat my heart

I knew when the sun set

From that day, we'd never ever part
