If We Make It Through December - Over the Rhine

If We Make It Through December Lyrics

If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snowIf we make it through December
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fineGot laid off down at the factory
And the timing's not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows I've been workin' hard
Wanted Christmas to be right for Daddy's girlI don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be the happy time of year
And my little girl don't understand
Why Daddy can't afford no Christmas hereIf we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snowIf we make it through December
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Maybe even California

If we make it through December we'll be fineIf we make it through December
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine
