We stood under the night
watching the stars flow through the sky
I turned around to look at you
Moonlight was in your eyes
I heard a night bird call
you asked me if I knew the song
I sang the dish ran away with the spoon
under the white December moon
Under the white December moon
So many years so long behind
Still your face I see in my mind
We?ll find the place we were in tune
under the white December moon
I still remember the perfect time
when your heart beat next to mine
I'll sing you the childish little riddle
of how the cat ran away with the fiddle
and how the little dog laughed and at whom
and how the cow jumped over the moon
under the white December moon
so many years so long behind
still your face I see in my mind
we?ll find the place we were in tune
under the white December moon
the mystery and the warmth of
the lonely memory of love
because I never will forget her
but no moment lasts forever
