Remember December?

Put on a smile As the nights get longer As the days grow colder We're getting older Stay a little while But you're not even here Seems like I'll never get what I want But because it's Christmas And you're supposed to be happy And the bells are ringing in the air You gotta find some cheer Somewhere I'm back home again It's been a long time Walking the streets again Feels like I'm humming a familiar nursery rhyme And because it's Christmas I always think back to you And for the first time in a while A beautiful memory Comes back to me You were a summer love As you should be Days of flaxen sun and nights of onyx moons We were creating But I never remember That summer wine Runs dry by December There I go again Re-writing the narrative Stuck in the caverns of my mind The frost is coming in again Crystallizing the moment I should leave it the way it is But I won't Because its Christmas And I just wanna be happy Even if that means living in the past Just to pass my time Because it's Christmas I just want to be happy Don't you want to be happy, happy, happy? Because it's Christmas And it's getting harder to be happy these days I might give you a call tomorrow And see how you're doing
