An Evening In December

As I wait here
In this evening in December
I remember
How it felt to be a child
This old house
Still feels the same
All the family will be here
In just a while

I hope daddy gets here first
To build the fire
He's the only one who has
That special touch
Then my sister with her kids
And my grandma who I love
So very much

Chorus:
Oh, I'm glad we'll be together
On this evening in December
We'll watch the falling snow
And hold each other close
I'm so glad we'll be together
For an evening to remember
On this night
On this December night

Sometimes out on the road
It gets so lonely
Cause I miss those special people
I hold dear
Though our calendars are full
At least for this one night
We'll all be here

How the children love
This evening in December
And while the smallest ones
Are playing on the floor
There's a warmth I can't explain
And I feel the love of those
Who've gone before

Repeat chorus

Keep the fire burning here
Until we all come back next year

Repeat chorus
