Dearest friend, where do I begin
These dusty keys must be played again
Years gone by echo in your eyes
Scars of time like the patterns of the night
Why are you alone
Like the winter deserted by the birds
I've seen you before
In the northern lights
I've seen you smile
I've seen you
Dearest friend, we've lost what we once knew
I've kept a box of memories for you
And though you ran, and turned your back on me
It's not too late to see the good I see
Why are you alone
Like the winter deserted by the birds
I've seen you before
In the northern lights
I've seen you smile
I've seen you
'Cause I can still see you standing there
In the snow that fell the winter we first met
Driving down those old farm roads
Just to see how fast we'd go
Why are you alone
Like the winter deserted by the birds
I've seen you before
In the northern lights
I've seen you smile
I've seen you
