As I wait here
In this evening in December
I remember

How it felt to be a child
This old house
Still feels the same

All the family will be here
In just a while


I hope daddy gets here first
To build the fire
He's the only one who has

That special touch
Then my sister with her kids
And my grandma who I love

So very much

Chorus:

Oh, I'm glad we'll be together
On this evening in December
We'll watch the falling snow

And hold each other close
I'm so glad we'll be together
For an evening to remember


On this night
On this December night


Sometimes out on the road
It gets so lonely

Cause I miss those special people
I hold dear
Though our calendars are full

At least for this one night
We'll all be here


How the children love
This evening in December
And while the smallest ones

Are playing on the floor
There's a warmth I can't explain
And I feel the love of those

Who've gone before

Repeat chorus


Keep the fire burning here
Until we all come back next year
