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... 

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 Decembe
