Once Upon a December

Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Music by Stephen Flaherty

-5 6 5 -6 6 5
Danc-ing bears, paint-ed wings,

6 5 -5 -4 -3 5 -5
things I al-most re-mem-ber.

-5 6 -5 -5 -7 5
And a song some-one sings

6 5 -5 -4 -3 4 3
once up-on a De-cem-ber.

-6 6 -6 6 6 -5 -5
Some-one holds me safe and warm.

6 -5 -5 -6 6 6 -5 -5
Hors-es prance through a sil-ver storm.

-6 6 -6 6 6 -5 -5
Fig-ures danc-ing grace-ful-ly

-4 4 -4 4 -4 5
a-cross my mem-o-ry.

-7 -6 -7 -6 -6 6 6
Some-one holds me safe and warm.

-6 6 6 -7 -6 -6 6 6
Hors-es prance through a sil-ver storm.

-7 -6 -7 -6 -6 6 6
Fig-ures danc-ing grace-ful-ly

5 -4 5 -4 5 6
a-cross my mem-o-ry.

6 -6 6 -7 -6 -5
Far a-way, long a-go,

-6 -5 6 5 4 -5 6
glow-ing dim as an em-ber.

6 -6 6 6 7 -5
Things my heart used to know,

-6 -5 6 -4 4 -4 6
things it yearns to re-mem-ber…

-6 -7 -6 -6 6 7
And a song some-one sings,

(slower)
-6 -5 6 5 4 -4 -7 7
once up-on a De- cem- ber.
