Our December – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
I could see snow cover hills
You were walking, I was standing still
I could feel the cold on my face
And we were talking like always
I could touch snow covered leaves
You were walking closer to me
I would play you a song out loud
Yeah, we could sing it 'till the year runs out
I remember streets covered white
And I remember a long tonight
Said our December will be littered with light
And I see you walking to me
We were holding future in hand
A place to fly and a place to land
Now our december will be sure to last
I said there'll be no rush for the year to pass
I remember streets covered white
And I remember a long tonight
Said our December will be littered with light
And I see you walking to me
I could see snow covered hills
And all at once my heart is still
I see you walking to me
Yeah, I see you walking to me
I remember streets covered white
And I remember a long tonight
Said our December will be littered with light
And I see you walking to me
I remember streets covered white
And I remember a long tonight
Said our December will be littered with light
And I see you walking to me
I see you walking to me
