I've traveled far
'Neath the Northern Star
Since the day that I was born
From the Caribbean to New Orleans
I've been inclined to roam
And the beauty I'd seen
And the places I'd been
I thought I'd see no more
'Till I saw those lights
That shine so bright
In the skies of Labrador
This place I've heard, in every word
Is far away, and cold
But I have found in this beautiful town
A treasure as rich as gold.
Those dancing lights
With their colors so bright
Each night as I look out my door
Its those Northern Lights, that shine so bright
In the skies of Labrador
Those Northern Lights, that shine so bright
In the night, that's cold and clear
The snow is bright from the pale moonlight
And silence fills the air
I cast my eyes to those sparkling skies
And I can see once more
Those Northern Lights that shine so bright
In the skies of Labrador
And sometimes when I'm down
And there's no one around
To tell my troubles to,
I stroll outside and I gaze at the sky
And I'm no longer blue
The night is still as I drink up my fill
As though I'd see no more
Of those Northern Lights, that shine so bright
In the skies of Labrador
My time will come, like everyone
When I must say goodbye
And I'll feel so sad as I look out the plane
As it soars through the sky
And I'll think of the day when I can say
That I'll return once more
And see those lights, that shine so bright
In the skies of Labrador
And see those lights, that shine so bright
In the skies of Labrador
