Cold December (In Your Heart)

Glen Campbell · Gentle on My Mind/By the Time I Get to Phoenix [1998]

(Alex Hassiley)



A touch of April in your smile

July and August in your yellow hair

A sweet September in your eyes

November notions in the clothes you wear

You're every season's work of art

But there's a cold December in your heart.



It seemed to me the day we met

That all the flowers had begun to bloom

I thought you'd help me to forget

The dusty shadows of my lonely room

I should have known right from the start

About the cold December in your heart.



I loved you more and more each day

Through every season of the year

Your lovin' laughter seemed to say

Your life was empty when I wasn't near.



Old love would lead you to the grave

I was a fool to think you loved my too

You always took but you never gave

Until you've taken all my love for you

I feel a chill I must depart

And leave the cold December in your heart.



In your heart, in your heart...
