If we make it through December
Everything’s gonna be all right I know
It’s the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
If we make it through December
Got plans to be in a warmer town
Come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December
We’ll be fine
Got laid off down at the factory
And their timing’s not the greatest
In the world
Heaven knows I’ve been working hard
Wanted Christmas to be right
For daddy’s girl
I don’t mean to hate December
It’s meant to be this happy time of year
And my little girl don’t understand
Why daddy can’t afford no Christmas here
If we make it through December
Everything’s gonna be all right I know
It’s the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
If we make it through December
Got plans to be in a warmer town
Come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December
We’ll be fine…
Guy was a genius and as real as they come. So hard to say, but among all his brilliant songs this is probably my favorite. But then I go...well every song of his is my favorite lol. You can name one classic after another with him. But this is just beautiful, that sad fiddle with those sad lyrics....gets you right in the heart.
Merrill is one of the greatest singers ever I can relate to most of his songs and laid off at the factory time or two narcissist signs just make more, since the most
When this song was playing on the radio my wife and I were just married and barely getting by. Life gets harder as time goeson but as someone said, thank goodness we have these memories. .. Thanks so much for posting. RIP Merle.
