Girl in December

(Sung softly)

Snowflakes, snowflakes
Drifting down to touch your eyes
Turned up closed to feel
Aching sugar-spun ice

(whispered)
My December girl...

(music intro)

Hands of your clock turning
Golden chimes calling my name
Hold my hand; pull me in
Every time is never the same

Chorus:
You're just a girl in December
Loving the cold, frostbitten lovers
Dancing in snow, whirling on ice
Never needing any covers

Crystals in your hair
A droplet on your nose
And suddenly it's raining
The grin on you grows

And as I watch you, shivering
From beneath a wide-branched tree
You're singing to your rain dance
Oblivious to even me

Chorus

And do you even feel the chill
As we hike up every mountain
I'll follow you anywhere
I'm the fool among all men

The jack of fools, the queen of hearts
In our little cozy cabin home
And though I'll try to keep you warm
Your skin chills me to the bone

Chorus x2
