Hold the phone;
baby, did you see the snow?
It's cold
blowing on the breeze.
I know
someday we will see it
waking to the sound
of our Decembering.
I'll show up,
raise a cup
to the life in you.
Hide your eyes;
I can't take the light inside.
I think that I'll take you in
and never let you go.
I know, I know
this will be a time to hold.
Baby, I can love you,
I know how to love you.
Call me crazy, call me strange.
I know how to love you,
I know how to take you into arms.
I know how to love you,
love you forever.
I know it's what they say,
all those crazy lovers,
when the morning comes
and snow is brushing the ground:
they say, "Next year, baby,
we'll have a life together.
One more holiday
you will celebrate
then I'll be right beside you.
Wait, wait, wait, wait."
So I will,
'cos I know how to love you,
I know how to love you,
call me crazy, call me strange,
but I know I can.
I was made to love you,
through the mornings; through the nights,
through the cold and summer times,
I was made for moments just like these:
For Decembering.
Put the coffee on.
I know that you don't like it,
but you make it just for me,
to keep me awake through the night
so we can keep on loving,
and talking.
Pull the covers close.
We know how to keep alive.
Some say they know love is just a season,
some say it won't last.
Some say we could never know what we're talking about.
Some say Christmas means more love,
but when it's over it'll be gone.
Funny thing is, this is how we feel
all the year long,
all the year long,
'Cos I know how to love you,
I know how to love you.
Call me crazy, call me strange,
but I know that it's true.
I know how to love,
I know how to keep you home.
I know how to pull you in
and keep you close to my soul.
You and you alone.
You and you alone.
