G C
1) December days, bring the winter snows,
G D
There’s ice on the river, but the water still flows.
C G
There’s a hawk a-screamin’, from her skylit 
throne
D G
With that mountain wind, come to carry you home.
G C G
Chorus: Once in a while, you’ll find a friend
D G
Where the memories meet at the rainbow’s end,

C G
Though life goes on, I’m glad for the thought
C G
D G
Of the gift you gave, and the peace you brought.
2) I walked with you, you walked with me,
Through all the changes, these years have seen
With your smile dropped here, and a kind word there,
From your gentle heart with your songs to share.
(Repeat Chorus)
3) And now we’ve touched what friendship binds,
The memories last and live through time,
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust,
Another legend dies, another voice is lost
