When December comes, I still remember Those quiet nights we spent alone together Your folks would leave for midnight service And we would talk until the hours grew lighter We shared the music, let the whole world wait You held my hand and leaned your head on mine No grand adventure, no elaborate plan Just two young hearts believing in their time The years went by and carried us along But every winter brings you back to me When December comes around, I still remember The way you made our little world feel tender We were young enough to think we'd last forever And I still hold those nights inside my memory (I still remember) (Those nights together) Now I sit alone when Christmas evening settles And see our younger faces in my memory I wonder if you think of those same winters And if they ever visit you as they visit me The years went by and carried us along But every winter brings you back to me When December comes around, I still remember The way you made our little world feel tender We were young enough to think we'd last forever And I still hold those nights inside my memory (I still remember) (Those nights together) My hair is silver now, my step is slower But love can keep a moment young Each year the season turns the page And there we are again When December comes around, I still remember The way you made our little world feel tender We were young enough to think we'd last forever And I still hold those nights inside my memory (I still remember) (Those nights together) (When December comes around) When December comes, I think of you And all those nights we shared together
