Northern Lights (Stay With Me)
Challenge: Get LostLiner Notes
I spend last week at a little middle-of-nowhere cabin on lake in Michigan's Upper Pennisula. In addition to good food, lots of euchre (iykyk) and hanging out with extended family... we saw shooting stars every night and saw the northern lights twice including one show lasting for hours into the night.
It has been a busy summer but I plan on frequenting here a bit, mostly because I miss you, my fellow fawmers. I got a couple things cooking on the back burner...

Lyrics
Northern Lights (Stay With Me) - August 17, 2024
Would you come with me, outside?
Brighten up the darkest night
Filling the sky, the northern lights
Please stay with me tonight
Chorus:
Oh! Would you stay with me tonight?
Be like the northern lights
Illuminate my life
Aurora Borealis
Full colors on display today
Would you look out in the lake?
Big Dipper and shooting stars
Can you believe we’ve come so far
Please stay with me tonight
We hear frogs and owls calling
Conversing throughout the night
Some days, there’s a lot to say
Please stay with me tonight
Lightning bugs have gone away
The moon has set beyond the trees
We’ve fading fast…. you and me…
Bridge:
When my nights get dark
When I lose my way
All my nights, all my days…
Ending Chorus:
Yes! All the days and all the nights
Please be my northern lights
Illuminate my life
Aurora Borealis
Your colors on display
Please stay with me
Comments
Nice fingerpicking and hard strums lend a nice Light feel to this tune.
Well done Dan!
Substitute Vermont or New Hampshire for the UP, hearts for euchre, and friends for family, and I've lived this so many times. You captured it.
