Alaska Song

Alaska Song

I want every friend I've ever had
To watch the colors of the Northern Lights
Dancin' on a starlit crystal evenin' sky
But I can't seem to tell them how
When I saw them first, I laughed aloud
And when they danced away, I went inside and cried

I've tried to tell in letters
Of the magic that's surrounding me
Aboundin', astoundin' like it's never done before
But they only say that's right but Ian
What of all that snow and ice
It surely freezes all your toes
And must displease your ears and nose
Whatcha doin' what you're doin' for?

I don't know any more
I've given up on trying to tell what for
It's a place I'd never seen before I really had to see
And now Alaska lives inside
Of me

So if ever you're in Knoxville say hello to friends and family
And say for me I hope you're doin' well
I'm a long long way from Tennessee but I hold her love inside of me
Just like the love I'm holdin' for the place and people close to me
And smile and say there's nothin' more
To tell

I want
Every friend I've ever had
To watch the colors of the Northern Lights
Dancin' on a starlit crystal evenin' sky
But I can't seem to tell them how
When I saw them first, I laughed aloud
And when they danced away, I went inside and cried
When I saw them first, I laughed aloud
And when they danced away, I went inside and cried
