Amália Rodrigues - Once In December

Last call for the train
I was there at the station
I was on my way back home
Going on my own

But there was a boy his eyes were like toys
and I was a child, I said what is your name?
He said just call me your friend, hoooh

Once in December, I do remember
the night before christmas when everything changed
and the snow lit up the city
Once in December, me and a stranger
all that we had was a song and a dance
to feel the air

He took me by the hand
he said I'm mr christmas
and you could be my girl
we have to make this city happy
so don't run away just stay for the day
and help me out
we have to make it snow
the same wish from them all

Hoooh, Once in December, I do remember
the night before christmas when everything changed
and the snow lit up the city
Once in December, me and a stranger
all that we had was a song and a dance
a humble wish to feel the air

So come with me to the rooftop
I'll do my snowflakedance
And you'll have to sing the mollowsong
This is our only chance

Once in December, I do remember
the night before christmas when everything changed
and the snow lit up the city
Once in December, me and a stranger
all that we had was a song and a dance
a humble wish to feel the air

Once in December, I do remember
the night before christmas when everything changed
and the snow lit up the city
Once in December, me and a stranger
all that we had was a song and a dance
a humble wish to feel the air
