[1] I have seen [4] snow that [5] fell in [1] May
And I have seen [4] rain on [5] cloudless [1] days
Some things are [4] always [5] bound to [6m] change
Oh there [4] ain't no [5] ash will [1] burn

Love is a [4] precious [5] thing I'm [1] told
It burns just like [4] West Vir-[5]-ginia [1] coal
But when the [4] fire dies [5] down it's [6m] cold
Oh there [4] ain't no [5] ash will [1] burn

You say this life is not your lot
That I can't be someone that I'm not
We can't stoke a fire that we ain't got
Oh there ain't no ash will burn

In every life there comes a time
Where there are no more tears to cry
We must leave someone dear behind
Oh there ain't no ash will burn
