Hearth is cold and dark, heat fails and laughs lose luster
I can't breathe the air saps life from every falling spark
Trees are white and stark; fall leaves have lost their color
And I'm holding every wish for shooting stars
This last night of December, cold ashes to an ember,
Light the fires, live desires, burn this eventide away
This last night of December, let's make tonight remembered
Don't close your eyes until the light is January's memory
Every minute's hanging in December
All this time we're waiting for December to pass us by,
So we can live, so we can die, to break this cold ice
This cold is making me numb Let the clock burn away
Time stands still tonight Break these ties, say goodbye
It's almost midnight this won't last forever
Let's make tomorrow wait forever Break these ties, say goodbye
We'll turn, turn these dead leaves and find new life
Let's burn, burn these endings and fuel the fire of our lives
Don't close your eyes you'll be just fine this is just a memory
