A7 A    G     D  Dalt  G   D   Gdim   F#7
I re - mem - ber one  blue De - cem - ber,

Edim    E7/9  E7  E7/9  E   Bm7-5 E7
 As the snow fell,  I  fell  in  love;

G/B    A7  G/B       A7        Em7  D    F#7        B7
Til we met that De - cem - ber, my win - ters were grey,

Cdim      E    Fdim(III)      E7       Bm7-5     A  Em7  A7
But you changed  blue   De - cem - ber       to May.


 A7   A  G      D    Dalt  G    D  Gdim  F#7
Then our ro - mance, just like the snow flakes,

Edim       E7/9               E Bm7-5  G     G/F#  Em7
Dis - ap - peared when win - ter was through;

 G   Gdim G   Edim   Em7   A7  Em7  A7   G6    D6   Bm
With each De - cem - ber, each blue De - cem - ber,

Bm7    E7/9   E7  E7/9  A7    A7sus4     D   ( Gm   D )
 I re - mem - ber sweet mem' - ries  of you.
