December

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
