Forty winters cold and dark 
F#        C#     B      F#
surround you like a beauty mark
  B           F#        B        
A tilt of the axis says that time
    F#
 of year
        B             F#       
And the flush of your cheekbones 
       B         F#
says no damage here
    B            F#            B 
The first time I saw you twas ice
        F#
 on the ground
  B         F#              
A girl in a green house meant 
  B        F#
paradise found

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

Why can’t I break the spell shake 
you and make you well
D#m                         F#
What is it blinding me that keeps 
you from finding me
B                           Bbm
I know you’re in there, you haven’t 
gone somewhere
D#m                  F#
God only knows about leaving me 
frozen out
G#m
Darlin’ 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
