December

There's a Victorian tin I keep my memories in
I found it up in the attic
After looking inside I find the things that I'm hiding
The leaves saved from a mistletoe kiss
Only nostalgia has me feeling like this
Like I miss you
It must be the time of year

Remember December
It's like a wintergreen beside a diamond stream
Remember December
A fall of snow and the afterglow

It could be taking our breath away
But the years stand in the way
Remember December
How does it make you feel inside?

Beneath a Valentine I see a locket is shining
I think it must be the wine
Makes me feel it's all real
Where nothing seems to rhyme
To breathe life into the dust of a keepsake
I might as well try to fix a chain on a snowflake
Or a heartache (or a heart or a heartache)
It must be the time of year

Remember December
It's like a wintergreen beside a diamond stream
Remember December
A fall of snow and the afterglow

It could be taking our breath away
But the years stand in the way
Remember December
How does it make you feel inside?

Should I feel this alone
Should I pick up the phone
Should I call up and wish you Happy Christmas?
I feel so alone
Should I pick up the phone
Take my heart in my hand
And ask if you remember (remember)
December (December)
It's like a wintergreen beside a diamond stream
Remember (remember)
December (December)
A fall of snow and the afterglow

It could be taking our breath away
But the years stand in the way
Remember December
How does it make you feel inside?
