In December's cold
I tried to keep the spirit
It was Christmas all around me
But I could not get near it
But I could not get near it
The children were singing
And church bells were ringing
But what did it mean to me?
What did it mean to me?
Now what did it mean to me?
I remember times
When all my Christmas toys
Would all be gone by new year's eve
I'd wait for next year's joy
I'd wait for next year's joy
It's over too fast
I just want it to last
But loneliness always returns
Loneliness always returns
Loneliness always returns
In December's cold
I looked for smiling answers
And found the warmth of Christmas love
Your eyes were tiny dancers
Your eyes were tiny dancers
You gave me the love of
The angels above
And I found the meaning in you
I found the meaning in you
I found the meaning in you
And now the new year's dawning
And the candle still burns bright
With the flames of love and memories
You gave on Christmas night
You gave on Christmas night
You gave on Christmas night
