December Song
                           By Tom Vance

Key of G

   
             G                         C                                            Am

1.

   It’s winter in the country side, where the holly trees do bloom,
            D7                      Am7                           C                                      G
    It’s winter in the city too, and the bells will be ringing soon.
             G                                     C                     Am
    The pine boughs on the mantle, the snowfall in the lane,
        D7                                Am7                                     C                    G
    Speak to me of the season’s joy, like the frost on a window pane.
            C                      D                    G
    It’s winter time, it’s winter time.
     

2.

   It’s a time for hearts to open up, like a flower in the spring,
    It’s a time to fall in love again, with the goodness the season brings;
    I come here looking for my love, to renew long forgotten vows,
    I come here looking for my heart, and a sense of who I am now.
    It’s winter time, it’s wintertime.
     
         C             D                                 C                                G

Bridge

  Winter is here again, those gray and snowy days,
          C                           D                                          C                G
    A time for joy, a time for cheer, as we savor the holidays,
        C                                D                                           G                       C
    Skating, sledding, sleigh bells ringing, hot cider by the fire,
       G                                   Em                                             A7                      D7
    Trimming trees and hanging wreaths, singing carols ‘til we tire.
     

3.

  As we share the season, and think of the passing year,
    The beauty that surrounds us, and the love that brings us here;
    The New Year comes in singing, of a hope for all mankind,
    A promise of life’s renewal, in the season we will find.
     
    Winter is a magical time of year;
    Winter is a magical time of year;
    Winter is a magical time of year;
    Winter is a magical time of year;
    December Song.
