After December Slips Away Songtext
von First Call

The season comes
But once a year
A gift of precious wonder
For all who hold it dear
But past the sights
And colored 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 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
No matter how bright 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 will remain
After December slips away
