Lyrics, with chords if you'd like to play along:
Intro - C | Em | F | G | (4x)

C | Em
Dear December, your gray skies
F | G
Didn’t see them In April’s eyes
C | Em
She was all hopes And good daydreams
F | G |
Now it’s darker, Help me see the
F | G |
Point of waiting, Point of standing still
C–G | Am-G
The point of opening up to the chill
F | G |
The point of losing and letting go
F | G
The point of choosing to let your heart come home.

C | Em | F | G
C | Em
Dear December, end of years
F | G
Rest in Peace, all you hopes and fears
C | Em
Beneath chimneys embers glow
F | G |
Some things bury, Some things grow
F | G |
Now it’s colder, now I’m older
C–G | Am-G
Now I’m fuller grown
F | G |
Now I’m trying to let my heart come home.


C | Em
We the lovers, we the friends
F | G
We the holders of hundreds of loose ends
C | Em
We who stumble, we who fall
F | G |
Dear December, you hold us all
F | G |
We too busy to sing our songs
C–G | Am-G
We who’ve wandered for far too long
F | G |
While we’re waiting, while we’re standing still
C–G | Am-G
Taking time for our empty to refill
F | G |
Dear December, just so you know
F | G |
I am letting my heavy heart come home.
C | Em |
F | G |
I am letting my heavy heart come home
C | Em |
F | G |
I am letting my heavy heart come home
