After December Slips Away
The season comes but once a year,
a gift of precious wonder to all who hold it dear.
But past the sights and colored lights,
far beyond December, I will remember...
After the carols fade away, after the yule fire dies down,
when there are no longer dreams to open and see.
Because you are hope, and joy and peace,
because you're the only gift I need.
In my heart the season will remain
after December slips away.
Years ago, beneath a tree,
fell the drops of crimson
that set the faithful free.
The gift was life, sent in love.
Far beyond December, I will remember...
After the carols fade away, after the yule fire dies down,
when there are no longer dreams to open and see.
Because you are hope, and joy and peace,
because you're the only gift I need.
In my heart the season will remain
after December slips away.
No matter how bright the glitter shines,
no matter how many hopes come true,
I know that all I have begins and ends with you.
After the carols fade away, after the yule fire dies down,
when there are no longer dreams to open and see.
Because you are hope, and joy and peace.
Because you're the only gift I need.
In my heart the season will remain
after December slips away.
