Once I was alone
 So so lonely and then
 You came out of nowhere
 Like the sun up from the hills
 Cold, cold was the wind
 Warm, so 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 a love I couldn´t ignore
 Down, down came the sun
 Fast fast fast beat my heart
 I knew, when the sunset
 From that day we´d never part


 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 a love that I couldn´t ignore


 Down, down came the sun
 Fast fast so fast fast beat my heart
 I knew, when the suns et
 From that day we´d never part
 we´d never part, we´d never part
