Am      B/D   A/C#    D     F    Am7          C/D   Am7 
Dancing bears,Painted wings,Things I almost remember, 
Am    B/D   A/C#   D     F     Am7    C/B   Am7 
And a song someone sings Once upon a December. 
D             Am          C    D         E                Am 
Someone holds me safe and warm.Horses prance through a silver 
C 
storm. 
D                Am     C   C/B           E 
Figures dancing gracefully Across my memory... 
Am  B/D   A/C#  D  F      Am7       C/D   Am7 
 
Far away, long ago,Glowing dim as an ember, 
Am   B/D    A/C# D          F    Am7    C/B   Am7 
 
Things my heart used to know,Once upon a December 
D            Am             C     
Someone holds me safe and warm  
  D         E             Am        C C                                                                  
   Horses prance through a silver storm. 
D               Am       C   C/B         E 
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory...
