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
(Instrumental interlude)
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
