From the recording The Farewell Waltz
Lyrics
My mistake was believing the end
was not just in fact a beginning
So I go to a place that I know
Far away from here
Next pretend that my iron won’t bend
except by the light of your halo
just as well but I wanted to tell you
that I won’t forget
no I won’t forget your name
come back for me once in a while
and tell me how your life has been
all in all it’s been a pretty good year,
but my love it’s December again…
You look pale in your funeral veil
my choreographer’s waiting
to teach me the dance called the farewell waltz
so I won’t forget
I could never forget your name
your cologne put the moves on my son
so hold on tight here we go
Sing me songs of redemption and love
and religion and how happiness
depends on the company of a good friend
but for now it’s December again
so please come back to me soon
my love it’s December again.
