Come my dear, I'll tell a tale
Through the winter's 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 winter's frosty gale

Come my dear and listen close
While the wind cries like a ghost
Through 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 winter's frosty gale
Come my dear and listen close
While the wind cries like a ghost
Come my dear, the time is nigh
As the moon hangs in the sky
