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
