You lay your head gently on my shoulder

We made big plans, they changed as we got older.

Oh, I know now what I didn't before

Sometimes it's good to let a good thing go.

But in my head, you're still mine

And I go back every night

I see your face in summer skies

I count the stars inside your eyes

Oh, what went wrong, what went right

It fades away as years go by

We may not have a whole lifetime

But at least we had the northern lights.

It hurts like hell admitting I still miss you

Your heart, my hand, somehow I let it slip through, oh...

But I know now what I didn't before

Sometimes it's good to let a good thing go.

But in my head, you're still mine

And I go back every night

I see your face in summer skies

I count the stars inside your eyes

Oh, what went wrong, what went right

Fades away as years go by

We may not have a whole lifetime

But at least we had the northern lights

The northern lights.

We lit a fire as the night got colder

What a view, with your head on my shoulder

Still the one that I can't get over.

In my head, you're still mine

I go back every night

See your face in summer skies

I count the stars inside your eyes

Baby, what went wrong, what went right

Fades away as years go by

We may not have a whole lifetime

But at least we had the northern lights

The northern lights.
