DECEMBER TIME
(Walter Grieve)

Robert Goulet


When the air is filled with twinkling bells 
And the trees are white with crusty shells 
When the frost is on the windowpane 
It's December time again

When the snowflakes cover up the sky
And little faces breathe a happy sigh
Old man winter's here to entertain
It's December time again

The mistletoe that's growing 
Will soon be picked for showing 
That lovers like this season of the year
Those sleigh rides so exciting 
The fancy colored lighting 
Are certain signs the yule tide's growing near

When the woodman fells the evergreen 
And little carollers appear upon the scene
And the heaven's echo their refrain
It's December time again
