Dancing pairs, 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 December.
