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

(Instrumental interlude)

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
