i'm so glad you came 

i'm so glad you remembered 

to see how we're ending 

our last dance together 

expectant 

too puctual 

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
