"If We Make It Through December" lyrics

If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be all right, I know
'Cause it's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver, when I see the falling snow

If 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

I got laid off down at the factory
And this time is not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows I've been working hard
I wanted Christmas to be right for Daddy's girl

I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be the happy time of year
But my little girl don't understand
Why Daddy can't afford no Christmas gear

If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be all right, I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver, when I see the falling snow

And if 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
