In a snowy winter night
We set out on our way
Packed up warm and tight
To see the lights display
Our friends were full of cheer
The laughter strong and loud
But as the road got cold and dark
They turned back, head down bound
Northern lights, shining bright
Way up in the sky
All the friends we left behind
Won't know the reason why
Oh, what joy, what a sight
To see that Christmas glow
The stars above, a tale of love
In northern ice and snow
One by one, they turned around
Tired, cold and slow
Said this trip's too long and hard
No lights for us to show
But we held tight, those who stayed
Hearts filled with delight
Knowing if we found the lights
The tale would last for life
Northern lights, shining bright
Way up in the sky
All the friends we left behind
Won't know the reason why
Oh, what joy, what a sight
To see that Christmas glow
The stars above, a tale of love
In northern ice and snow
Through frosty air and silent nights
We climbed those snowy hills
The Christmas cheer, the distant lights
Gave us all the chills
Now we stand in awe and glee
Under northern light
With colors swirling high and free
A pure enchanting sight
We'll tell this tale each Christmas Eve
Of friends who dare to see
The magic of a winter's night
And lights of destiny
Final lights, shining bright
Way up in the sky
All the friends we left behind
Won't know the reason why
Oh, what joy, what a sight
To see that Christmas glow
The stars above, a tale of love
In northern ice and snow
