Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright, I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
[Verse 2]
Well, if we make it through December
I got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Oh, maybe even California
Well, if we make it through December we'll be fine
[Verse 3]
I got laid off down at the factory
The timing's not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows I've been working hard
I wanted Christmas to be right for Mama's girl
[Verse 4]
No, I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be a happy time of year
But my little girl, she won't understand
Why Mama can't afford some Christmas cheer
[Verse 5]
Well, if we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright, I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I, I shiver when I see the falling snow
[Verse 6]
No, I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be a happy time of year
But my little girl, she won't understand
Why Mama can't afford some Christmas cheer
[Verse 7]
If we make it through December
If we make it through December
Well, if we make it through December
If we make it through December
