Lyrics
IT'S TURNING TO DECEMBER
It's turning to December - the cold upon my face
I'm trying to remember the warmth of life's embrace
Has it been so long - I can't recall whatever happened to summer or fall - I know I've done most of it all - but I still have time.
I know that it's December - I feel it in the air
It seems time to remember the blessings that we've shared
All in all, I've had a beauritul life - two kids and a wonderful wife
Making a difference in peoples' lives - I've done most of it all.
But I'm not ready to go
I've got so much I still want the world to know
I've got a lot left to do
This world keeps changing - I'm not through yet
Miles and miles to go
I'm not giving up 'til the summer has snow
I'll be around - you can bet
I'll still be standing here - heaven sent
It's turning to December - winter once again
With life so sweet and tender - too bad it has to end
Sometimes I feel I've just begun
When I wake and catch a glimpse of the sun
Then I realize I've had a long, long run
I've done most ot it all.
It's turning to December - the cold upon my face...
