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 December.
