You showed up in a coat too thin/Said Texas winters “barely win”/But I wrapped you in my flannel pride/And pulled you closer from the side/You’d never seen the snow before I’d never held a hand so sure/The lights were crooked on the tree/But they lit up just fine for me  

Chorus 1

It’s our first December/Hot hands in cold weather/Every flake a little promise/That we might stay like this forever/I don’t need a present/If you’re next to me/I’ll always remember/Our first December

Verse 2

You burned the cookies, spilled the wine/We laughed until the bells chimed nine/You kissed me under hallway light/Then begged to stay another night/We carved our names into the frost/Made snow angels at our own cost/And when the silence filled the air/You smiled like you'd always been there 

Chorus 2

It’s our first December/And baby it’s better/Than all the ones I dreamed about/When love felt more like pressure/I don’t need a snow globe/To picture this scene/I’ll always remember/Our first December 

Bridge

Next year, maybe things will change/A bigger tree, a longer name/But every time the season starts/You’ll still be in my heart 

Chorus 3

It’s our first December/Frozen in forever/We didn’t need a perfect night/To make it last together/I don’t need a countdown/I don’t need the cheer/I just need to remember/Our first December was here
