The sun sets on this cold december night
And you’ve fooled me into thinking everything's alright
Who cares about the future, you say
We’ll worry about that junk another day

So show me your smile
If you plan to stay a while
I want it engraved in my head
When my soul is set free
I want your smile to be
The last thing I see when I’m dead

The sun rises on this cold december morn'
You’re in my head, naked as the day you were born
You left me two years ago
Call me from where you are, how far did you go?

Just say you’re fine
And I won’t ask again
I’ll believe you
Because you’re my friend

So show me your smile
If you plan to stay a while
I want it engraved in my head
When my soul is set free
I want your smile to be
The last thing I see when I’m dead
When I'm dead
