Friend, your heart has been far away from mine There's no one to blame but that wicked, stalwart time As the year marches steady to its end Oh, my heart is longing to be close to yours again And I'll be home in December Maybe we can remember us Our memories together are like worlds inside my head Places that I go to remember who I am Worlds untouched by my worries in the dark Worlds where time can never pull us apart And I'll be home in December Maybe we can remember us When the world gets cold And the lights get low I get that old feeling again Stay awhile and let's hide inside the glow Winter keeps on marching and it's almost time to go But I'll be home in December Maybe we can remember us Remember us
