My Dear Beloved

I've been sleeping far too long

My body's waking with a song

It's late October and the leaves blanket the ground

And I see people hurry past

They chase the sun that's fading fast

It's late November and the cold is rolling round

My dear beloved

When December comes, I'll know just what to do

My dear beloved

When December comes I'll know that all I'll need is you

I've no regrets, I have no fear

In the knowledge the you're always near

My darling, we could while away the hours

With stories of our future plans

Of cottages down by the sand

Of children and a home that we've made ours

My dear beloved

When December comes, you'll know just what I'll do

My dear beloved

When December comes you'll know that all I'll need is you, you

My dear beloved

My dear beloved

When winter winds are blowing fast

You'll give me your coat in exchange for my heart

A heart that's stayed hidden away for years

We'll warm up by the fire side

The place where first I called you mine

And you promised there'd be no more need for tears

My dear beloved

When December comes you know just what I'll do

My dear beloved

When December comes, you know that all I need

My dear beloved

When December comes I know just what I'll do

My dear beloved

When December comes, you know that all I need

My dear beloved

My dear beloved

All I need is you
