After December Slips Away

Donny Osmond


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
