An Evening In December - First Call

As I wait here

In this 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 daddy 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

Oh, I’m glad we’ll be together

On this evening in December

We’ll watch the falling snow

And hold each other close

I’m so glad we’ll be together

For an evening to remember

On this night

On this December night

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

And 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

Repeat chorus

Keep the fire burning here

Until we all come back next year

Repeat chorus
