Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Dancing bears, painted wings

Things I almost remember

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December

[Verse 2]

Someone holds me safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory

[Verse 3]

Someone holds me safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory

[Verse 4]

Far away, long ago

Glowing dim as an ember

Things my heart used to know

Things it yearns to remember

[Verse 5]

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December
