An Evening in December

As I wait here on the 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 dad 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

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

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

Keep the fire burning here

until we all come back next year

and I'm glad we're here together

on this evening in December

We'll watch the falling snow and

hold each other close

I'm so glad we're here together

for an evening to remember

On this night

on this December night
