Angel Of Harlem

Lyrics

It was a cold and wet December day
 When we touched the ground at JFK
 Snow was melting on the ground
 On BLS I heard the sound
 Of an angel
 
 New York, like a Christmas tree
 Tonight this city belongs to me
 Angel
 Soul love, this love won't let me go
 So long, angel of Harlem
 ♪
 Birdland on fifty-three
 The street sounds like a symphony
 We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
 Miles, and she's got to be an angel
 Lady Day got diamond eyes
 She sees the truth behind the lies
 Angel
 Soul love, this love won't let me go
 So long, angel of Harlem
 Angel of Harlem
 ♪
 She says it's heart, heart and soul
 Yeah, yeah (yeah)
 Yeah, yeah (right now)
 Blue light on the avenue
 God knows they got to you
 An empty glass, the lady sings
 Eyes swollen like a bee sting
 Blinded you lost your way
 Through the side streets and the alleyway
 Like a star exploding in the night
 Falling to the city in broad daylight
 An angel in Devil's shoes
 Salvation in the blues
 You never looked like an angel
 Yeah, yeah, angel of Harlem
 ♪
 Angel, angel of Harlem
 Angel, angel of Harlem
 Angel, angel of Harlem
 Angel, angel of Harlem
