(Deana Carter)

Dancing bears

Painted wings

Things I almost remember

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December

You hold 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

Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory

Far away, long ago

Glowing dim an as ember

Things my heart

Used to know

Things it yearns to remember

And a song

Someone sings

Once upon a December
