December Song

It was Sunday morning, you said you were going to a concert and you said: come with me, come with me, I wanna go there with you I said I really want to go with you, babe, but I have to stay home I didn't know that you were leaving in four weeks then I wouldn't let go of your hand for a second I said don't go, don't go don't go, but you had to And you said remember your jacket from now on, I won't come after you You said you wanted to go skiing and I said I can take you there And then I saw the pictures of you flying ten feet in the air And I tried to get away with a joke, just like you did that night when you said you couldn't find my house, and it was so cold, so you just went home, but then my doorbell rang and it was you with that big green jacket and the smile of an angel I said don't go, don't go don't go, but you had to And you said remember your jacket from now on, I won't come after you And the last time I saw you was that night when you walked me home You put your lips to my ear, and you said why didn't we meet earlier You said it's not fair, that I have to go, but I really have to And I said I have to stay here, even though I really want to go after you I said don't go, don't go don't go, but you had to And you said remember your jacket from now on, I won't come after you The next morning you were gone, and you left me here with a bottle of Hendricks and a letter I still keep it by the window, and the bottle is gone, cause you said it would make it better I kept writing you, but things just don't last forever I just have to say thanks, you really made my December I said don't go, don't go don't go, but you had to And you said remember your jacket from now on, I won't come after you
