Let December Keep Us

The city wears a softer light

The windows glow against the night

And every street we used to know

Feels warmer underneath the snow

I don't need a perfect night

Or ribbons underneath the lights

If you are standing next to me

That's all this season needs to be

Maybe time was never meant

To take the best things that we had

Let December keep us

Just a little longer here

Let the winter hold the moments

We don't want to disappear

If tomorrow comes too quickly

Let tonight remain this way

Let December keep us

For another day

The coffee's getting cold again

But neither one of us has left

We talk about the years gone by

And watch the snow begin to rise

Some memories are made to stay

Some find a different kind of way

And somehow in this quiet room

The whole world feels like me and you

Maybe time was never meant

To take the best things that we had

Let December keep us

Just a little longer here

Let the winter hold the moments

We don't want to disappear

If tomorrow comes too quickly

Let tonight remain this way

Let December keep us

For another day

When the lights come down

When the streets grow still

When another year begins

I will remember how it felt

To have you here again

Let December keep us

Just a little longer here

Let the winter hold the moments

We don't want to disappear

If the season has to leave us

Let its warmth remain the same

Let December keep us

Till we meet again

Let December keep us

Just a little longer
