25th of last december

plenty reason to remember

25th of last december

how it felt

when you would hold me

in your loving arms

now the summer's come and gone

you're away

christmas day's just not the same

guess i'll cry away my pain

you left home this past september

now the fire's just an ember

we were once so warm and tender

now you're movin' on

we were once that special blend

of me and you

when love was true

and love was new

now the clouds are passing through

visions of a warm december love

but that's all gone now

an empty space where we made love

right here in my lonely bed

you're in my memory

so clear

i feel your presence

if i reached out

it's like i'd find you there

winter nights snowflakes dancing

mysteries of life entrance me

with the thrill of winter closeness

only we could share

now my nights are spent alone

since you are gone

i'm on my very own

my pain has grown
