Dancing bears
Painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December

Someone holds me
save and warm
Horses prance
Through a silver storm
Figures dancing
gracefully
Across my memory

Far away long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Once upon a December

Someone holds me
save and warm
Horses prance
Through a silver storm
Figures dancing
gracefully
Across my memory

Far away long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart
used to know
Things it yearns to remember

And a song
Someone sings

Once upon a December.
