When december comes

Then we'll take the kids to mama's

They can make snow angels in the yard

Like a christmas card

We'll decorate the tree

Put an angel high above us

Like we always do

At christmas



On and on it goes

Every year new memories to share

And for all we know

We will all of us be there



When the autumn leaves have gone to gold

And swallows know december's calling

I'll be flying home a thousand times

In all my sweetest dreams

I can see the glow in your eyes

As we sit by the fire

Like lovers we knew long ago

While we watch our angels in the snow



When december comes

We'll be trying to remember

Where we packed our woolen winter clothes

Only heaven knows

When december comes

We'll be hanging pine and holly

Singing all the songs we sing at christmas



Home is ever near

Hearts return no matter what we do

And love

Will build a bridge

And I will always be there with you



When the autumn leaves have gone to gold

And swallows know

December's calling

I'll be flying home a thousand times

If only my dreams

And I see the glow in your eyes

As we sit by the fire

Like lovers we knew long ago

While we watch our angels in the snow
