After December Slips Away

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
