Lyrics:

Seems like this year the winter came early
Sunny on Sunday and Monday the snow starts to fly
The world's on the mend
This time last year you were almost despairing
Trying to make sense of a world beyond caring
And I fell in love with you then

This time you won't have to walk away
Won't have to run away
No one will drive you away baby this time

December is always a hard month to handle
When you live by the light of a flickering candle
And there's nothing but winter ahead
The season has always so much to remind you
Of all the promises broken behind you
But try to look to the future instead

This time you won't have to walk away
Won't have to run away
No one will drive you away baby this time
This time you won't have to search for a reason
Or try to explain to your father why it didn't work out
This time

This time there won't be weeks where you wonder
How can I sleep in the same bed
Or the best friends who talk of the pressure you're under
But won't meet your eye when you see them

You never forget the sensation of falling
You strain for a sound but no one is calling you near
And you're suddenly free
This winter won't be as hard as the last one
The weather man says we're in for a fast one this year
And you're here with me, and I want you to be

This time you won't have to walk away
Won't have to run away
No one will drive you away baby this time
This time you won't have to search for a reason
Or try to explain to your father why it didn't work out
This time
