I've been sleeping far to long My bodies waking with a song It's late October and the leaves blanket the ground And I see people hurry past They chase the sun that's fading fast It's late November and the cold is rolling round
My dear beloved When December comes I'll know just what to do My dear beloved When December comes I know all I'll need is you
I've no regrets I have no fear In the knowledge the you're always near My darling we could while away the hours With stories of our future plans Of cottages down by the sand Of children and a home that we've made ours
My dear beloved When December comes I'll know just what to do My dear beloved When December comes I know all I'll need is you
My dear beloved etc
When winter winds are blowing fast You'll give me your coat in exchange for my heart A heart that's stayed hidden away for years We'll warm up by the fire side The place where first I called you mine And you promised there'd be no more need for tears
My dear beloved When December comes I'll know just what to do My dear beloved When December comes I know all I'll need is you
