"White Lighted December" - Shannon Freeman (Original Song)

Last original of 2023! I started writing this song about 9 years ago, scrapped the idea, then came back to it like 6 years later. I made a lyric video for it, but I've never been super proud of that, so I wanted to give this song another go. Hope you guys like the live version!

Lyrics:
Written by Shannon Freeman
(Chorus 1)
It was sunny and it was cold/ and the only bit of snow was behind the back doors of the old civic center/ white lighted December/ a headlight blew out on the way downtown do you remember/ that one December/
(Verse 1)
Christmas lights were shining all around/ didn't know that'd be the last time I'd see you in that town/ but when you look up/ at the stars/ do you think of us/ laughing by the old cars/ in the parking lot/ the trails that have been lost/
(Chorus 2)
Now it's gray/ and it's cold/ and the only bit of snow is from an old fading picture/ back when we thought we were so clever/ the lights blew out across the street/ the sound jolted back those memories/ do you remember/ the white lights in December/
(Verse 2)
I can still feel the cold walking down the stairs/ and the crowd by the glass/ you were there/ the brick on the walls as hard as ice/ it was a gamble a roll of the dice/ how you would respond/ only chance before the moment was gone/
(Repeat chorus 1)
(Bridge)
Trees changing colors on the side of the road for the last time that season/ cars flew by like my feet on the ice/ there had to be a better reason to go/
(Repeat chorus 2)
(Repeat chorus 1)
(Outro)
Like the snowflakes falling from the sky it was silver/ do you remember/ that day in December?/
