This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow-covered home
This is my December
This is me alone

And I just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I take back all the things I said to you

And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
This is my December
These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all I need

And I just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I take back all the things I said to you

And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away to have someone
To come home to

Seems like our love is on the road to nowhere fast
All my life I thought a love like this would last
But every road can hide a corner we can't see
I had a vision that I woke up by your side
I felt you breathing and our souls were intertwined
But who controls love's destiny…not me

We had it all right in our hands
We had the space to fly and still the place to land

So I'm calling out, I'm calling out
You're the only one
Who can save us from what we've done
Don't leave me hanging on
I'm reaching out and praying you'll come back again
It's just darkness I'm living in
And you're the only place my heart has ever been

Maybe I'm young and in the ways of love, naïve
Maybe I'm desperate for a reason to believe
There wasn't any way I thought that we would fall
I've seen perfection in a rainbow in the sky
I've seen a child make the coldest grown man cry
But loving you I thought was greater than them all

We had it all, just you and me
Now there is a doorway to my heart without a key

So I'm calling out
I'm calling out to the only one
Who can save us from what we've done
Don't leave me hanging on
I'm reaching out and praying you'll come back again
It's just darkness I'm living in
And you're the only place my heart has ever been

Wherever you are right now
Come back and show me how you feel
Because I'm lost without you here
Calling out
I'm calling out to the only one
Who can save us from what we've done
Don't leave me hanging on
And I'm reaching out and praying you'll come back again
It's just the darkness I'm living in
'Cause you're the only place my heart has ever been

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted
I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands

So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

And so my love
From my window I can see a beautiful vision
And when the music plays
Your body rises like a bird of grace

Mi morena**
I saw you dancing in the rain
Holy water shining like a silver flame
Come like a ghost
I will watch you dance alone
Mi morena, you're the light within my soul

And so my love
The way you're moving in your dress
To a nylon guitar on wings of silk and lace
You lift upon the notes and slip away

Mi morena
I saw you dancing in the rain
Holy water shining like a silver flame
Come like a ghost
I will watch you dance alone
Mi morena, you're the light within my soul

Take this cross of feathers and bone
Take this heart I've carved in stone
In your name

Where the setting sun surrenders to the moon
Mi querida***, I wait for you

Mi morena
I saw you dancing in the rain
Holy water shining like a silver flame
Come like a ghost
I will watch you dance alone
Mi morena, you're the light within my soul

Mi morena
Hold your hands out to the night
Be my lover, I will fall into your eyes
Sweet fire of love
For you I'd steal the stars
'Cause I adore you, oh my morena

I can't understand it
The search for an answer
Is met with a darker day
And we've been handed these moments forever
But I'm reassured
There's another way

You don't have to close your eyes
There is room for love again
Ease the pain to realize
All that love can be
Forced apart by time and sand
Take a step and take my hand
And don't let it go
Never let go

Broken, once connected
We were so strong and so blessed
In a simple way
So don't let me go it alone

Turn your head up to the sky
Nothing down below but me
Face the truth to realize
All that we could be
Torn apart by rage and fear
Hold on to what brought you here
Don't let it go
Never let go…
