Edmonton /ˈɛdməntən/ is the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta, Canada. Edmonton is located on the North Saskatchewan River and is the centre of the Edmonton Capital Region, which is surrounded by the central region of the province.
The city and its census metropolitan area had populations of 812,201 and 1,159,869 as of the 2011 Census respectively, making it Alberta's second-largest city, Canada's fifth-largest municipality and Canada's sixth-largest metropolitan area by population. Edmonton is the northernmost North American city with a metropolitan population over one million. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.
The majority of Edmonton's metropolitan population lives within the City of Edmonton rather than in the surrounding suburban municipalities. Historically, Edmonton was surrounded by few other urban municipalities (Strathcona, Beverly and Jasper Place being the largest) but these were absorbed through amalgamation or annexation. Edmonton annexed a significant amount of land up until the early 1980s, and as a result it has sustained much of the region's suburban growth within its own boundaries.
Big sky, open sun, early morning, day begun
Will the end of this work ever come?
Forever my love comes undone
Forever my love comes undone
If I just keep to this travelling way
My heart won't feel the need to stay
And if I keep wishing here for you
My heart will be forever blue
My heart will be forever blue
So I will take my time and see
Know in my mind that you love me
Until you know what you must choose
You're too hard to hold onto
You're too hard to hold onto
When you love, you learn your lessons deep
When it hurts, you've got those tears to weep
(Something) won't come cheap
When you love, you learn your lessons deep
So I will take my time and see
Know in my mind that you love me
Until you know what you must choose
You're too hard to hold onto
You're too hard to hold onto
Big sky, open sun, early morning Edmonton
The clouds and I are soon to be one
Forever my love comes undone
Forever my love comes undone
Forever my love comes undone
Forever my love comes undone
