Lyrics
BECAUSE IT’S DECEMBER
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP
A winter day
The sky is standing still
The snow is grey
I think I need a pill
(Na na na…..) I’m sliding down the hill
(Na na na…..) I’ll climb back to the top
Because it’s December
I see your crooked smile
Because it’s December
The Savior is a child
Because it’s December
The sun is cold as ice
And now I remember
The headlights burning bright
I think I’ll stay
Like hibernating bears
Inside a cave
And dream away despair
The children’s cheery smiles
Will keep me for a while
The sky is standing still
I think I’ve caught a chill
But memories we share
Will wash away despair
