[Verse 1]
Dancing bears, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

[Chorus]
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Once upon a December

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

[Chorus]
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
[Outro]
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
