Look in my eyes, take my hand,
Tell me that you remember,
A tale of love we began,
Once upon a December.

I will hold you safe and warm,
As we dance through a silver storm.
Hope and light that set us free, Love you gave to me.

You walked with me on that day.
A flame began as an ember.
And the things you would say,
On that lovely December.

Gentle embrace, sweet delight,
And a dance to remember.
Drifting away through the starry night,
Love across oceans will endure.

I will hold you safe and warm,
As we dance laughing at the storm,
Feel the magic of release, tell me you love me.

Though you'll leave me by and by,
Hear this song and remember:
How together we could fly,
Once upon a December.

I would hold you safe and warm,
As we danced through the silver storm.
Your lips, your hands, your breathe on me, fill my memory.

Look in my eyes, take my hand,
Tell me that you remember...
