UP WHERE ALASKA BEGINS
I'p where the hand clssp's a little
stronger.
I'p where the smile dwells a little
longer—
That s where Alaska begins
I’p where the sun’s a little brighter.
Where the snow that falls is a triffle
whiter.
Where the bonds of home are a wee
bit tighter—
That’s where Alaska begins.
I'p where s fresher breeze is blowing
Where there's laughter in every
streamlet flowing.
Where there's more of reaping and
less of sowing—
That '« where Alaska begins.
I'p where Alaska i« in the making
i Where fewer hearts with despair are
agjungf
Where there's more of giving amt
less of taking—
That's where Alaska begins.
Where there'> more of singing and less
of sighing.
Where there's more of giving and less
of buying.
An 1 a mar. makes friends without 1
half trying—
That "s where Alaska 1 oglns.
