Dancing bears, painted wings Things I almost remember And a song someone sings Once upon a December Someone holds me safe and warm Horses prance through a silver storm Figures dancing gracefully Across my memory Someone holds me safe and warm Horses prance through a silver storm Figures dancing gracefully Across my memory Far away, long ago Glowing dim as an ember Things my heart used to know Things it yearns to remember And a song someone sings Once upon a December

Come my dear I'll tell a tale Through the winters frosty gale When the bells refused to ring And the angels wouldn't sing Somewhere in the dark of night Was a single shining light Still I can remember Once upon December Come my dear I'll tell a tale Through the winters frosty gale Come my dear and listen close While the wind cries like a ghost Though the ice and silver snow As the frozen breezes blow Look up high into the night When the moon is shining bright Still I can remember Once upon December Come my dear and listen close While the wind cries like a ghost Come my dear I'll sing a song Hoping you will sing along Come my dear I'll sing a tune To the stars and to the moon Glowing in her magic light Lighting up the dead of night Still I can remember Once upon December Come my dear I'll sing a song Hoping you will sing along Somewhere in the dark of night Was a single shining light Still I can remember Once upon December Come my dear I'll tell a tale Through the winters frosty gale Come my dear and listen close While the wind cries like a ghost Come my dear the time is night As the moon hangs in the sky
