December Nights December Lights

Verse 1:

December days are dark and cold and the snow is growing deep.

The trees are bare in the frosty air and the world is fast asleep.

There are candles in the window, there are lights upon the tree,

All shining in the dark, tell their tale to me.

Refrain:

December nights, December lights,

Tell us of days so very long ago.

December nights, December lights, tell us the secrets we must know.

Verse 2:

December nights are crisp and clear and the stars are icy cold.

From far and near all the sounds you hear are a promise that’s foretold.

There are merry voices singing, there is music in the air.

All the tower bells are ringing, there is laughter ev’rywhere.

Refrain

Verse 3:

December times are happy times and they bring a message true.

Good will to all and peace on earth and a happy New Year, too.

And when the snow has gone away and the sun shines warm and bright,

We’ll dream of merry days gone by and a cold December night.

Refrain
