December what's in store? Snow falls outside the darkened door We won't see the ground for 7 months more I can feel everything slowing down The days are getting shorter now And my Civic won't even get me around Don't you think we've had enough this year? Wisconsin is filled up with Christmas cheer And I wait by the phone wishing that I could hear your voice Oh Will you dance with me in the snow? We can fumble around With our snow boots on Oo Will you stay warm? Will you stay true? At least until Christmas ends? I can't be alone again No I can't The tree farm's too expensive So I bought one from a Boy Scout in the parking lot Of the Benjamin Franklin in downtown Cadott Now I guess I'll trim it all myself The ornaments won't hang themselves But what's the use when there's nobody else If you don't go and open all your gifts As fast as you did as a little kid It won't feel as anticlimactic as it is Oh Will you dance with me in the snow? We can fumble around With our snow boots on Oo Will you stay warm? Will you stay true? At least until Christmas ends? I can't be alone again No I can't
