"Afton" Music and Lyrics by Crys Matthews v1. Afton Mountain, on a winter's night and your face, soft and cool as the moonlight. It was 20 degrees, but I was plenty warm I nearly broke a sweat every time you brushed against my arm. Life is so strange, the way it opens doors. I was trying to wrap my head around every thing I felt. I couldn't tell you what the future held, but it was enough for my hand to be holding yours. ch. Come better or worse, we'll have that night and I'm grateful for the memory of you falling in love with me. v2. There we were, a new year in reach, A fresh start for you, some dream chasing for me. I tried to hold on to my heart that night, but you claimed it on Afton and you held on tight. The thing about the Blue Ridge is the magic it holds, You could reach for the stars and up there you'd almost get 'em, they way we wished for more time and hoped for something better And nights like that are the backdrops to fairy-tales untold. ch. Come better or worse, we'll have that night and I'm grateful for the memory of you falling in love with me. v3. I can't say what the future holds. We might have ten days, or ten lifetimes -- who knows? One thing I know to be true is I'm yours. That's in sickness, in health, for richer or poorer. Afton Mountain on a winter's night. Yeah it crosses my mind every time we're apart, how that old mountain's got a place in my heart. It was the first blue moon in years, and you were by my side. ch. Come better or worse, we'll have that night and I'm grateful for the memory of you falling in love with me.
