Roberta Flack
25th of Last December (1997)

[Verse 1]
Plenty reason to remember
Twenty-fifth of last December
How it felt when you would hold me
In your loving arms
Now the summer's come and gone
You're away
Christmas Day's just not the same
Guess I'll cry away my pain

[Verse 2]
You left home this past September
Now the fire's just an ember
We were once so warm and tender
Now you're moving on
We were once that special blend of mе and you
Love was true
And love was nеw
Now the clouds are passing through

[Bridge]
Visions of a warm December love
But that's all gone now
An empty space where we made love
Right here in my lonely bed
You're in my memory so clear
I feel your presence
If I reach out
It's like I'd find you there
[Verse 3]
Winter nights with snowflakes dancing
Mysteries of life entrance me
With the thrill of winter closeness
Only we could share
Now my nights were spent alone
Since you were gone
On my very own
My pain has grown

[Instrumental Outro]
