"December Will Be Magic Again"

Written by Kate Bush

December will be magic again.

Take a husky to the ice

While Bing Crosby sings White Christmas. He makes you feel nice.

December will be magic again.

Old Saint Nicholas up the chimney,

Just a-popping up in my memory.

Ooh, dropping down in my parachute,

The white city, she is so beautiful

Upon the black-soot icicled roofs,

Ooh, and see how I fall.

See how I fall

("Fall!") [backwards]

Like the snow.

Come to cover the lovers.

(Cover the lovers,

But don't you wake them up.)

Come to sparkle the dark up.

(Sparkle the dark up,

With just a touch of make-up.)

Come to cover the muck up.

(Cover the muck up,

Ooh, with a little luck.)

December will be magic again.

Light the canDLe-lights

To conjure Mr. Wilde

Into the Silent Night.

Ooh, it's quiet inside,

Here in Oscar's mind.

December will be magic again.

Don't miss the brightest star.

Kiss under mistletoe.

I want to hear you laugh.

Don't let the mystery go now.

Ooh, dropping down in my parachute,

The white city, she is so beautiful

Upon the black-soot icicled roofs,

Ooh, and see how I fall.

See how I fall

("Fall!") [backwards]

Like the snow.

Come to cover the lovers.

(Cover the lovers,

But don't you wake them up.)

Come to sparkle the dark up.

(Sparkle the dark up,

With just a touch of make-up.)

Come to cover the muck up

(Cover the muck up,

Ooh, with a little luck.)

Oh, I'm coming to cover the lovers.

Ooh, and I'm coming to sparkle the dark up.

Ooh, and I'm coming to cover the muck up.
