Lyrics
Ding-ding, la-la, oh—
Piano keeps the time, bells on the sill (oh-oh)
Lay your coat on the rack, come in from the chill
Ding-ding, la-la, heyi ya—
Street lamps orange, windows steaming up like cups of tea
Kids with mittened hands trading jokes with the street
Mrs. Hall on her porch hums a tune she learned long ago
We walk a little slower, let the evening glow
Old records spin, the radio plays our names
Scarves tied like promises, calling out like flames
Every step a story, every laugh a sign
That the year's got a season made to shine
And we gather (we gather), we remember (we remember)
Soft lights climb higher (higher), layering the ember (ember)
Hold on, hold on—(hold on)
Get ready, get ready—(get ready)
Feel the December rhythm, under our feet, oh-oh
Sleigh bells and footsteps making one heartbeat, yeah
Dance through the doorway, lift your cup, let it flow
Feel the December rhythm, let it go, let it go
Feel the December rhythm, under our feet, oh-oh
Sleigh bells and footsteps making one heartbeat, yeah
Dance through the doorway, lift your cup, let it flow
Feel the December rhythm, let it go, let it go
Plates pass around stories and cinnamon steam
Neighbors trade tall tales like they do in dreams
Kids clasp paper stars and hang them up high
The porch lights blink back at the winter sky
Toast to small wonders, to the silly and true
To the hands that hold steady, to the jokes that pull through
Choir at the corner, voices warm and bright
We sing until the morning feels like night
And we gather (we gather), we remember (we remember)
Voices climb higher (higher), thread through each ember (ember)
Keep close, keep close—(keep close)
Hold tight, hold tight—(hold tight)
Feel the December rhythm, under our feet, oh-oh
Sleigh bells and footsteps making one heartbeat, yeah
Dance through the doorway, lift your cup, let it flow
Feel the December rhythm, let it go, let it go
Feel the December rhythm, under our feet, oh-oh
Sleigh bells and footsteps making one heartbeat, yeah
Dance through the doorway, lift your cup, let it flow
Feel the December rhythm, let it go, let it go
Quiet now, the strings breathe soft and slow
I remember faces by the firelight's low glow
Not every night needs gilded gold or a show
Just these small hands and the warmth that we know
If the world keeps turning wild, we'll find this place
Where laughter pads the rafters like a familiar grace
Close your eyes, listen—(listen), you're home (you're home)
This is more than a moment, it's the map that we own
Candle at the window, writing our names in smoke
Distant horns of laughter like a favorite joke
Footsteps on the stair—come down, come see
The table's set wide, there is room for you and me
We trade our quiet fears for a shared light
Spin old coins of memory in the palm tonight
Promise made i
