ROBERTA FLACK
"25th Of Last December"

Plenty reason to remember
25th of last December
How it felt when you would hold me
In your loving arms

Now the summer's come and gone
And you're away
Christmas day's just not the same
Guess I'll cry away my pain

You left home this past September
Now the fire's just an ember
We were once so warm and tender
Now you're moving on

We were once that special blend of me and you
When love was true
And love was new
Now the clouds are passing through (Through)

Visions of a warm December love
But that's all gone now
An empty space where we made love
Right here in my lonely bed
You're in my memory so clear
I feel your presence
If I reach down
It's like I'd find you there

Winter nights with snowflakes dancing
Mysteries of life entrance me
With the thrill of winter closeness
Only we could share

Now my nights are spent alone
Since you are gone
I'm on my very own
My pain has grown
