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 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
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
I 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
