December's Dream - Fred Neil

I can see her slowly walking

Through the empty streets of morning

Who she’s with I cannot tell

His face fades with the others

In the endless spell of dreams I know so well

Though she walks with him no more with me

And I know she’s where she wants to be

Her happiness is there for all to see

But I find that I still wish it was for me

I can hear her voice still ringing

Through the empty songs I sing

And it seems that all the words I find

To say the things that crowd my mind

Only bring me closer

To the things I’d rather leave behind

Though I know the game’s been played

And I know the mistakes I’ve made

I know I shouldn’t be afraid

To love, for love for any time at all

Is worth the price you pay to fall
