Dancing bears, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings

Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe 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 safe 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
