I'm so glad you came, I'm so glad you remembered
To see how we're ending our last dance together
Expectant, too punctual, but prettier than ever
I really believe that this time it's forever

But older than me now, more constant, more real
And the fur and the mouth and the innocence turned
To hair and contentment that hangs in abasement
A woman now standing where once there was only a girl

I'm so glad you came, I'm so glad you remembered
The walking through walls in the heart of December
The blindness of happiness of falling down laughing
And I really believed that this time was forever

But Christmas falls late now, flatter and colder
And never as bright as when we used to fall
All this in an instant before I can kiss you
A woman now standing where once there was only a girl

I'm so glad you came, I'm so glad you remembered
To see how we're ending our last dance together
Reluctantly, cautiously, but prettier than ever
I really believe that this time it's forever

But Christmas falls late now, flatter and colder
And never as bright as when we used to fall
And even if we drink I don't think we would kiss
In the way that we did when the woman was only a girl
