December Dream

I can see her slowly walking
 Through the empty streets of morning
 Who she's with I cannot tell
 His face fades with the others
 In the endless spell of dreams I know so well
 Though she walks with him no more with me
 And I know she's where she wants to be
 Her happiness is there for all to see
 But I find that I still wish it was for me
 I can hear her voice still ringing
 Through the empty songs I sing
 And it seems that all the words I find
 To say the things that crowd my mind
 Only bring me closer
 To the things I'd rather leave behind
 Though I know the game's been played
 And I know the mistakes I've made
 I know I shouldn't be afraid
 To love, for love for any time at all
 Is worth the price you pay to fall
