And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Dancing pairs, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings

Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Танцующие пары,1раскрашенные крылья.
Вещи, которые я почти вспоминаю.
И песня, которую кто-то пел
Однажды в декабре.
Кто-то предлагает мне защиту и тепло.
Лошади несутся вскачь через серебряный ветер.
Изящно танцуют пары
Сквозь мою память.
Кто-то предлагает мне защиту и тепло.
Лошади несутся через серебряный шторм .
Изящно танцуют пары
В моей памяти.
Далеко, очень давно,
Слабо сияющие, как тлеющие угольки,
Вещи, которые мое сердце знало,
Вещи, которые я хочу вспомнить.
И песня, которую кто-то пел
Однажды в декабре
