Hi guys, this is a lyric I posted on this month's lyrical contest on the Muses Muse, another music website I frequent, it got 3rd...please let me know what you like or dislike about this one....I tried to make it where it could be from the point of view of a childhood friend, a mom, a dad, a boyfriend, girlfriend, hubby, wife...and how much they miss those days in December and now miss the person for whatever reason they are gone

Thanks, Kim



Day in December

We used to love the store front windows
all lit up on Main Street
the resonating sound in our chest
from a parade's drum beat
We had a blast picking out the saddest
marked down Charlie Brown tree
‘Cause once we decorated it with love,
it was pretty as could be

Chorus
I remember a day in December
Back when you were still with me
But this year, since you’re not here
It’s just another day in December to me


We would sip on homemade wassail
while we waited for snow
Then watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” again
beside a warm fire glow
We’d take long walks through the woods
down to that special Live Oak
‘cause the season was always more fun
when we found some mistletoe


Chorus
I remember a day in December
Back when you were still with me
But this year, since you’re not here
It’s just another day in December to me


Bridge
My friends send me party invitations
To get me in the Christmas spirit again
But they will just have to be patient
I can’t celebrate yet or pretend…
because…

I remember a day in December
Back when you were still with me
But this year, since you’re not here
It’s just another day in December to me

Yeah, this year, since you’re not here
It’s just another day in December to me
