It was a cold and wet December day When we touched down at JFK Snow was melting on the ground On BLS I heard the sound (of an Angel) New York like a Christmas tree I said tonight this city belongs to me (Angel) Soul love this love won't let me go So long...Angel of Harlem Birdland on 53, the street sounds like a symphony We got John Coltrane and a love supreme Miles and she has 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 Bridge: ooh ooh ooh ooh she sings with heart, heart and soul 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 On the side streets and the alleyways Like a star exploding in the night Filling up the city with broad daylight An Angel in Devil's shoes Salvation in the blues You never looked like an Angel So long...Angel of Harlem Angel, Angel of Harlem (4 times and fade)
