[Chorus]
On this cold December night in the heights
We drink a pint, to you ma’am
Your home it glows like holiday lights
Reminds me of when you were here
Whoas
[Verse]
Her pan is hot with the oil she got
She don’t have a care at all
She throws it all in like whiskey and gin
Her kitchen converts like St. Paul
And outside in the street my cousins like me
Find heat in the eighty-four yea
The kettle it sings as the bell rings
“Give your cents to the poor”
[Chorus]
On this cold December night in the heights
We drink a pint, to you ma’am
Your home it glows like holiday lights
Reminds me of when you were here
[Verse]
She left one night, but I found her again
In the way that I laugh at myself yea
Her story is told, her words are gold
“Give your cents to the poor”
Now I keep my pan is hot cause I learned what she taught
I don’t have a care oh no oh
I’ll take it all in the virtue and sin
And keep her candle aglow
[Chorus]
On this cold December night in the heights
We drink a pint, to you ma’am
Your home still glows like holiday lights
Reminds me of when you were here
[Bridge]
Take a drink
Raise a glass
Take the time for it surely will pass
Take a drink
Raise a glass
We all have those we want to call back
Take a drink
Raise a glass
One for liz and the spirit she had
Take a drink
Raise your glass
Take your time with this night for it surely will pass
[Chorus]
On this cold December night in the heights
We drink a pint, to you ma’am
Your home still glows like holiday lights
Reminds me of when you were here
[Outro]
On this cold December night in the heights
We drink a pint, to you ma’am
Your home still glows like holiday lights
Reminds me of when you were here
