The Magic World of the St. John Valley
by Wil Labbe
“It’s the magic world of the St. John Valley
A world that takes your breath away
It’s the magic world of the St. John Valley
St. John Valley is where your heart will stay.”
If you ever walk along the St. John River
In the stillness and quiet of the day
When reflections from the bank fall on the water
It’s a scene that takes your breath away
When Autumn leaves give change to rainbow colors
And the glitter of gold is present everywhere
It’s a scene that captures your heart forever
Till the cold winds come and leaves the trees so bare
When the snow falls on the ground in late November
And the cold winds come, you suddenly want to hide
Then excitement stirs and out the door you wonder
There’s so much to do , so much to see outside
When water clings to the trees on a frosty morning
It’s a crystal wonderla
