Frosted wind, through veins
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way, he's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me

It's that time of year when the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas (merry Christmas)
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine (song of mine)
Every quarter to dime
Wishes you and yours the same thing too

It's that time of year
Every song you hear

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages, tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Dancing bears, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

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

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens (far away)
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens (long ago)
Brown paper packages, tied up with strings (glowing dim)
(As an ember) these are a few of my favorite things

Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels (things my heart)
Doorbell and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles (used to know)
Wild geese that fly with the Moon on their wings (things it yearns)
(To remember) these are a few of my favorite things

And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

It's that time of year
