Introdução: E 

E6    E 
Once I was alone, so lonely and then 
A        Am7             
You came out of nowhere  
E6    E       B7 
Like the sun up from the hills 
E6    E 
Cold, cold was the wind, warm, warm were your lips 
A               Am7                
Out there on that ski trail where  
E6    E 
Your kiss filled me with thrills 
Bridge 
A      B7      E 
A weekend in Canada, a change of scene 
A     B7         E 
Was the most I bargained for 
A       B7         E       C#m 
And then I discovered you, and in your eyes 
   G#m    C#m5-/7   F#m           B7 
I found a love that I couldn't ignore 
E6    E       
Down, down went the sun,fast, fast beat my heart 
A         Am7                 
I knew when the sun set,  
E6   E       B7    E 
From that day we'd never, ever part
