Only love can ease the pain
Of a boy caught in the rain
Only hope will remember
Burning flames in December
Only love
Only love
Only faith can bring to life
One who falls by the wayside
Only trust can inspire
Soggy lungs to breathe fire
Only love
Only love
It’s only natural
The moon is just half full
We give our best away
We give our best away
Only love…
Only trust can inspire
Soggy lungs to breathe fire
Only love
Only love
Only love
Only love
There’s a victorian tin, i keep my memories in,
I found it up in the attic.
After looking inside, i find the things that i’m hiding…
The leaves saved from a mistletoe kiss,
Only nostalgia has me feeling like this…
Like i miss you,
It must be the time of year.
Remember december,
It’s like a wintergreen beside a diamond stream,
Remember december,
A fall of snow and the afterglow.
It could be taking our breath away
But the years stand in the way,
Remember december,
How does it make you feel inside ?
Beneath a valentine, i see a locket is shining
I think it must be the wine,
Makes me feel it’s all real.
Where nothing seems to rhyme
To breathe life into the dust of a keepsake
I might as well try to fix a chain on a snowflake
Or a heartache,
It must be the time of year.
Remember…
Should i feel this alone, should i pick up the phone
Should i call you up and wish you ‘happy christmas’ ?
I feel so alone, should i pick up the phone
Take my heart in my hand
And ask if you remember…
Why drink the water from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards your domain.
Your cup runneth over again.
Don’t scream about
Don’t think aloud
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out
Don’t worry about
Don’t speak of doubt
Tourn your head now baby
Just spit me out
Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am.
Don’t throw away your basic needs,
Ambiance and vanity.
December promice you have unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing
All my tears will dry away
All my tears will dry away
All my tears will dry away
Words don’t bother me no more
Black money falling to the floor
Flags out on the balconies
Black money washing to the seas
Oh my mind
What happened to the time
December
All my house got blown away
All my house got blown away
All my house got blown away
Walls of glass and walls of stone
Got blown away
Stations in the neon light
Your body strange as dynamite
Killers underneath our skins
Black mirrors black hyacinths
Oh my eyes
What happened to the skies
December
December
December
Now, the time of the year
Is finally here
It’s the time when I spend
All my hours in fear
Emptiness just comes and goes
Hopefully, it doesn’t show
Voices calling my name
Deep inside of my brain
They don’t stop ‘cause
They’re trying to drive me insane
I don’t know why you went away
Ooh, the memories will never fade
December once again
December once again
December once again
Like the stars in the sky,
I can still see in your eyes
It’s the same old pattern
That never dies
I can’t seem to leave behind
This emptiness inside my mind
There’s a mist in the air
And the feeling is bare,
Keeps me dreaming of you
It just isn’t fair
I don’t know why you went away
Ooh, the memories will never fade
December once again
December once again
December once again
(Memories will never fade)
Why’d you have to go away?
(All the times we used to share)
Why’d you have to go away?
(December feelings once again)
Why’d you have to go away?
(Memories will never fade)
Why’d you have to go away, go away?
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Now, the time of the year
Is finally here
It’s the time when I spend
All my hours in fear
I don’t know why you went away
The memories will never fade
December once again
December once again
December once again
December once again
December once again
December once again
December once again
December once again
Once upon a dream
Moonlit wings come into view
Winter casts her spell
And all the world is born anew
A child sees a star through a window
He knows with all his heart
That wonder is coming
Waiting
Hoping
Believing
Only in december
Are hearts so full
Or feel more alone
Could it be the same
For everyone
Only in december
Can the broken heart
Feel so alive
And the autumn ashes
Become the fires of december
Can i be inside
And out of the cold
Still i know
December always leads me home
I still believe in magic
Always leads me home
And i still believe in miracles, mmm yes
Still believe in christmas
I still believe in love
I still feel the cold
Of long past days
I knew my worth
Put in my place
It’s no surprise
I realized some time before
December sun shines through haze
I put my thoughts
Toward future days
It’s no surprise
I close my eyes
And close the door
Feeling so old
Years pass like days
Fastly changing
So many ways
My eyes perceive
Yes i believe in nothing more
December is the cruelest month
But this time for once my cheeks are warm
After long years in the monkey-house
I am ready for the storm
Let them throw all their cannonballs
Let all their strongmen come
I’m ready to go anywhere
Through venom, sick and scum!
December isn’t always cold
But this year she’s mine and i know why
Somewhere a flower has to grow
For every flower that dies
I’m stricken with fever
But my heart is strong as steel
I’m ready to go anywhere!
I can believe, i can feel!
December is a trusted friend
I always recognise her face
It’s a plague of fool blown aside
Forever by her soft and silent grace
She is reckless as a mayday
Gentle as a stone
And ready to go anywhere
To carry me back home!
December fell deep in the bleak
Mid-winter time when jesus christ
Howled a baby saviour’s howl
A primal truth as pure as ice
And though we crucified him on a cross
And dragged his name from payer to curse
He was able to go anywhere
He was almost one of us!
When December comes I bet that you want to
Wrap me all up and take me home with you
See what I look like under them lights
We’ll keep it quiet whatever we do
I’m just tryna keep my baby warm through the winter time
I’m just tryna to give you something to remember through the summer time
And whatever is on your list, I’ll do it
Boy whatever it is, you know I’ll do it
Yeah
Merry christmas, here I am boy
Gonna love you, gonna give you all I can boy
Merry christmas, here I am boy
I’m a present, and you know it, here I am boy
Merry christmas, here I am boy
Gonna love you, gonna give you all I can boy
Merry christmas, here I am boy
I’m a present, and you know it, boy
Give you the fire I keep inside
Guide you all the way down be your night light
Give you the sweetest kiss that you’ll taste
Unwrap me now been waiting since midnight
I’m just tryna keep my baby warm through the winter time
I’m just tryna to give you something to remember through the summer time
And whatever is on your list, I’ll do it
Boy whatever it is, you know I’ll do it
Yeah
Merry christmas, here I am boy
Gonna love you, gonna give you all I can boy
Merry christmas, here I am boy
I’m a present, and you know it, here I am boy
Merry christmas, here I am boy
Gonna love you, gonna give you all I can boy
Merry christmas, here I am boy
I’m a present, and you know it, here I am boy
