August Kann - December Song Lyrics

It was Sunday morning, you said you were going to a concert
And you said: come with me, come with me, I wanna go there with you
I said I really want to go with you, babe, but I have to stay home
I didn't know that you were leaving in four weeks
Then I wouldn't let go of your hand for a second


I said don't go, don't go don't go, but you had to
And you said remember your jacket from now on, I won't come after you

You said you wanted to go skiing and I said I can take you there
And then I saw the pictures of you flying ten feet in the air
And I tried to get away with a joke, just like you did that night when you said you couldn't find my house, and it was so cold, so you just went home, but then my doorbell rang and it was you with that big green jacket and the smile of an angel

I said don't go, don't go don't go, but you had to
And you said remember your jacket from now on, I won't come after you


And the last time I saw you was that night when you walked me home
You put your lips to my ear, and you said why didn't we meet earlier
You said it's not fair, that I have to go, but I really have to
And I said I have to stay here, even though I really want to go after you

I said don't go, don't go don't go, but you had to
And you said remember your jacket from now on, I won't come after you

The next morning you were gone, and you left me here with a bottle of Hendricks and a letter
I still keep it by the window, and the bottle is gone, cause you said it would make it better
I kept writing you, but things just don't last forever
I just have to say thanks, you really made my December

I said don't go, don't go don't go, but you had to
And you said remember your jacket from now on, I won't come after you
