After December Slips Away
The season comes
But once a year
A gift
Of precious wonder
For all
Who hold it dear
But past the sights
And coloured lights
Lord
Far beyond December
I will remember
After the carols
Fade away
After the Yule fire
Dies down
When there are
No longer dreams
To open and see
Because You
Are hope
And joy and peace
Because You're
The only gift
I need
In my heart
The season
Will remain
After December
Slips away
Years ago
Beneath a tree
Fell the drops
Of crimson
That set
The faithful free
The gift was life
Sent in love
Lord
Far beyond December
I will remember
After the carols
Ffade away
After the Yule fire
Dies down
When there are
No longer dreams
To open and see
Because You are
Hope and joy
And peace
Because You're
The only gift
I need
In my heart
The season
Will remain
After December
Slips away
No matter how
Bbright
The glitter shines
No matter how
Many hopes
Come true
I know
That all I have
Begins and ends
With You
After the carols
Fade away
After the Yule fire
Dies down
When there are
No longer dreams
To open and see
Because You are
Hope and joy
And peace
Because You're
The only gift
I need
In my heart
The season
Will remain
After December
Slips away
In my heart
The season
Wwill remain
After December
Slips away
But once a year
A gift
Of precious wonder
For all
Who hold it dear
But past the sights
And coloured lights
Lord
Far beyond December
I will remember
After the carols
Fade away
After the Yule fire
Dies down
When there are
No longer dreams
To open and see
Because You
Are hope
And joy and peace
Because You're
The only gift
I need
In my heart
The season
Will remain
After December
Slips away
Years ago
Beneath a tree
Fell the drops
Of crimson
That set
The faithful free
The gift was life
Sent in love
Lord
Far beyond December
I will remember
After the carols
Ffade away
After the Yule fire
Dies down
When there are
No longer dreams
To open and see
Because You are
Hope and joy
And peace
Because You're
The only gift
I need
In my heart
The season
Will remain
After December
Slips away
No matter how
Bbright
The glitter shines
No matter how
Many hopes
Come true

And peace
Because You're
The only gift

In my heart
The season
Will remain
After December
Slips away
In my heart
The season
Wwill remain
After December
Slips away
